Windows 10: New Media Player Does Not Show Up On Windows

Hi,So today, I hit uninstall on Media Player by mistake and after it uninstalled I went to the microsoft store and tried to reinstall it.But when I hit the "Install" button It wouldnt just install so I downloaded the latest version of media player online and when I ran it, it said that I already had media player and It asked whether I wanted to reinstall it or to launch it.Anyway, I clicked "Launch" and the app had all of my music and video library locations saved and audio and video playback was also fine but the app wouldnt show up on start or in search or in anywhere.I have the app pinned

New Windows Media Player Plugin for Firefox

Anyone who uses Windows Vista and Mozilla Firefox may be pleased to hear that the Windows Media Player team has now released a plugin for Firefox that should allow the browser to play WMP content on websites. Here are the steps to get it working:

• Installation of the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin may require administrative access to your PC. It is recommended that you close all other open browser windows before continuing with the installation.
• Click the Install button to automatically download and install the Windows Media Player Firefox Plugin.
• Depending on your security settings, you may see a Security Warning dialog box. Click Install to install the plugin.

There is a known issue if you are using Firefox version 2.0.0.3 on Windows Vista with the installer failing with error code -203. To work around this simply restart Firefox (you will get a notification that Windows Vista will be changing the Firefox compatibility settings) and then install again - the second time should succeed.

The download is available here, and the new plugin works on all versions of Windows XP and Windows Vista (although it is mostly intended for Vista, as that currently has no WMP support in Firefox).
