Upgraded to Windows 10, but cannot find Media Player

Hi Ron,



I realize the inconvenience you are experiencing with Windows 10. I will certainly help you.



This issue might occur if there is change in system settings.



To assist you better, please provided us the information below:

• When you say that "no sign of Windows Media Player", are you referring to default Windows Media Player or Windows Media Center?

If you are referring to Windows Media Player, then I recommend you to follow the steps below and check if it helps.

Step 1: I suggest you to check if Media Player is still present in the computer or not.

1. Click on Start Menu and check if Antivirus application is visible in the Start Menu or not.

2. If not, then click on All apps.

3. Search for the applications.



Step 2: I recommend you to search for Windows Media Player through Search bar.

1. Click on Search bar which is present next to the
Start Menu.

2. Then type "Windows Media Player" without the quotes in the Search bar and try to open it.

Please get back to us with an update on issue with finding Windows Media Player, we will be happy to help.
