Windows 10: New media pack N?

Hi all,
I've been running w10 pro N 64 since day one. On the whole no major problems.
Remember when 1511 was introduced and M.S broke the media feature pack. M.S realised this and released a new feature pack. All was well with playing videos.

A couple of weeks ago the sky news app videos stopped playing . All my videos on the windows photo viewer app won't play. To play youtube videos on ie I have to put it into compatability mode. All my music won't play using Windows media player. Missing codec?
VLC plays all videos, no problems.

I thought it was the new graphics drivers (R9280x) rolled back, still no luck. Run Sfc, no errors. All drivers up to date.

So, I think i need to reinstall the media feature pack. Any way to delete and reinstall. Or MS needs to fix it again.

Regards

:)

 

Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 'N' was removed by the 1511 Update. Now Feature Pack won't install properly

I suspect that the reason you're seeing that message is that you're trying to install the wrong version of the Media Feature Pack. The KB numbers you referenced above are for the Windows 10 1511 version feature pack. Are you perhaps using the new Windows
10 1703 version? If so, you can find the latest version of the feature pack at:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...edition-of-windows-10-version-1703-april-2017

It seems that every time MS releases a major version update to Windows, there is a new version of the feature pack to go along with it. In other words, the 1511 Media Feature Pack won't work for Windows versions 1607 or 1703. So the reason you're seeing
the "Media Feature Pack already installed" message is probably that it has detected that you installed a feature pack, but it's not the right one ... thus it's non-functional.

 

Media Streaming is Gone in 1709

I can't play fifa 2017 without the media pack now. I think it is a matter of time until Windows a new version of the media pack introduce to us.
