    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.



    Thank you.

  3. Windows 10 Media Player stops and starts at random

    Hi,

    To isolate your concern, we'll need the following information:

    • Do you get an error message when it stops?
    • Is it only happening when using Windows Media Player and Groove Music?
    If yes, we suggest you to run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter and Windows Media Player Settings Troubleshooter. To do so, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows key.
    • Type Troubleshooting.
    • On the left pane, click View all.
    • Click Windows Store Apps to troubleshoot Windows Store Apps and click
      Windows Media Player Settings to troubleshoot Windows Media Player.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions.
    Let us know how it goes.
