Windows 10: Movies and TV media limitations disclosure

Why isn't it disclosed prior to the purchase that it is limited to the Microsoft App/devices? The price is the same as it would be for the physical media at WalMart, Target, Costco, etc. Granted, the storage of the movies isn't cheap but the practice of using a single movie and selling it multiple times sound more like piracy than someone asking for ways to save their purchased movies.I have stopped buying the movies with DRM and asking for the physical media. Who knows what will happen once the studios start their own streaming services and cease to honor any future contracts.

Window Media Player and Movies & TV arent working with internet conection

Hi Carlos,

I realize that WMP and M& TV app is not working on your PC. I will try to help you with this issue.

As Windows Media Player is not able to access the file, suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if that helps. Follow these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + X and click on Control Panel.
  
• 
  Click on Troubleshooting and click on View all.
  

Select “Windows Media Player Settings” troubleshooter and run it to check if that helps.

Further, you may also take ownership of the file to check if that helps.

Follow these steps:

• 
  Right click the file and select Properties.
  
• 
  Click the Security tab, tap or click Advanced, then tap or click Change. If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
  
• 
  Type the name of the person that you want to give ownership to, and then click Check Names.
  

Note: The account name for the person that you are assigning ownership to is displayed.

• 
  Click OK.
  
• 
  If you want this person to be the owner of the files and subfolders that are contained in this folder, select the “Replace owner on sub-containers and objects” check box.
  
• 
  Click OK.
