    Videos not playing

    Hi,

    I am also having an issue with my videos not playing on any browser for windows 10. So I followed the steps that you listed for the video option but there is
    no folder called Display Drivers. There are folders called display adapters and disk drivers however. Maybe I should uninstall one of those?

    Thanks

    Zach

  3. Video import and play on Windows 10

    Hi Russ Bristol,

    We appreciate your interest in Windows 10.

    Before proceeding, we need more information to help you better.


    • Do you get any error message when you try to play imported videos in Windows media player?

    • What is the format of the video files you try to play using Windows media player?
    Try these steps to troubleshoot the issue.

    Step 1: Check the file type.

    Check if the file type is supported in Windows Media Player 12. You may verify the information below. The information is more or less the same except for few file types such as H.264, Xvid and DivX video codecs, AAC audio<sup></sup>
    and 3GP, MP4 and MOV container formats that are natively supported by WMP 12.

    Information about the Multimedia file types that Windows Media Player supports

    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316992/

    Step 2: Download and install codec.

    If the file type is supported by the Player, make sure the codec used to compress the file is installed on your computer. Some codec’s aren't supported by the Player.

    Here’s how you can check for the codec of the file.

    To do this, follow these steps in Windows Media Player 12:

    • Determine whether the codec is installed on the computer that you are using to play the file. To do this, follow these steps:
    a. In the Now Playing area, right-click the file that you are trying to play, and then click
    Properties.

    b. Click the File tab, note the codecs that are specified in the
    Audio codec and the Video codec areas, and then click
    OK. If the following condition is true, go to step 2.

    No video codec is specified.

    c. On the Help menu, click About Windows Media Player.

    d. Click the Technical Support Information hyperlink.

    e. Determine whether the video codec that you noted in step 1b is listed in the Video Codecs area. If the codec is not listed, go to step 2.

    f. Try to reinstall the codec. If you cannot reinstall the codec, go to step 2.

    g. Try to play the file. If you can play the file, go to step 3.

    2. Install the codec.

    To do this, follow the below steps:

    a) If you receive an error message when you try to play the file, click
    Web Help. If you do not receive an error message when you try to play the file, go to step 3.

    b) On the Microsoft Web site, click the link to the Wmplugins Web site. If this link is not present, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

    c) Try to play the file. If you can play the file, skip step 3.


    3. Obtain the codec from a external vendor. For information about your hardware manufacturer, visit the following Web site:

    http://support.microsoft.com/gp/vendors/en-us

    If your file format you have downloaded/imported is not supported in Windows Media Player. However use your favorite search engine to search for the application that converts the file to the format that Windows Media player supports.

    I hope the above information helps. Kindly let us know if you need any further assistance with Windows. We are glad to assist you.

    Thank you.

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
