Windows 10: NONE of my media players will play .mp3's after Virus Infections. HELP

After battling a shitload of infections from my PC my windows media player no longer works. I get this error: "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file." When I try to open an mp3 with Music Mode I get this error: "Error Playing File: Error: MF_MEDIA_ENGINE_ERR_SRC_NOT_SUPPORTED HRSULT: - OxC00D5212"
When I try with Groove Media Player I get this: "Can't play - This item was encoded in a format that's not supported 0xC00d5212"

I'm praying that this infection hasn't mutated my entire library somehow, hopefully some other simple fix. Any ideas anyone?

Thanks

:)

 

What can I do to restore the optimum utility of Windows Media Player?

After updates on 11/14 Windows Media player ceased to play ripped files; it will however play the lone MP3 file in my library. I have utilized all sorts of remedies, including Windows Repair, none of which is effective. Also, it will not play the lone
video which I possess, nor will the player itself play anything at all, except the lone MP3 file, no CDs,no DVDs. Windows 7, which I had, was arbitrarily upgraded to Windows 10 about 3 months ago, and the media player worked fine until November 14th. What
can I do to restore the optimum utility of Windows Media Player and the files in my library?

 

Cant Play Media files like MP3

Hello

i bought new laptop with installed Windows 10 Home Singe Language

at first I've updated the whole Apps. including the Groove Music all my albums of MP3's transferred into this machine and i've played the mp3 files and its working. Suddenly my mp3's wont play i tested on Windows Media player it wont work too i tried to download
from appstore some music player it totally wont work either.

pleas help me...

 

is it possible you could share your file that won't play? OneDrive, DropBox, whatever.

 

Yes, easily. But it's any one of tens of thousands of Mp3's and any video as well. Microsoft is doing a remote session right now so I'll do that once they're done. Thx

 

Hmm... Tens of thousands you say? That's a bit much for the average user. At any rate, I'd recommend scanning those. If you come up with nothing, I strongly suggest you post in the Malware Removal forum over at Majorgeeks because to me it sounds like something got past your security and caused problems.

 

I'm wondering if the MP3 codec has been damaged so Media Player/ any other software using that codec can't play it any more.

 

I think there were some major corruptions in the registry. I system restored back to yesterday and all is good!

Thanks guys
