Windows 10 Pro N installing Media Features Pack (build 1804)

Hello,

I have windows 10 Pro N, build 1804 installed on my PC. I'm trying to connect my Android phone as MTP device. From what I understood I need to install Media Feature, however I'm unable to find a version which will install correctly on my system (from the
list
here>> the highest number is 1803)

Where can I find the correct package?

Best regards

 

Win10 N Will not install Media pack

I am using windows 10N Insider preview and The media pack will not install. I have tried the following:

• Media Feature Pack list for Windows N editions
• Media Feature Pack for N and KN editions of Windows 10 Version 1508 - KB3010081
• Media Feature Pack for N and KN editions of Windows 10 Version 1511 - KB3010081
• Media Feature Pack for N editions of Windows 10 Version 1607 - KB3133719
• Media Feature Pack for N edition of Windows 10 Version 1703 - KB4016817
• Media Feature Pack for N edition of Windows 10 Version 1709 - KB4039813

The only one to install was the very first one. However Media player is not installed, there are no media player folders. I can add the app.

Every other version say the update is not applicable to your system. Not sure how
that's even possible. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and nothing. No media player. Should I just assume that it does not work and will never be fixed or is there some magic that I
don't know about to get this thing working and installed correctly?

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you,

Unable to install Media Feature Pack for N

Had an issue connecting Phone using MTP. Figured out it uses Media Feature Pack that N versions of Windows doesn't have.
Tried to install Media Feature Pack on Windows 10 N 21H1 with no luck.
in appwiz.cpl Optional features there is no Media Feature or Windows Media player option.
Already tried Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature –FeatureName "WindowsMediaPlayer" -All -Online powershell comand and it could not find feature name "WindowsMediaPlayer".
Tried new UI Settings -> Apps-> App & features -> Manage optional features, click Add a feature, click on Windows Media Player, click on Install. Outputs installation failed.

Tried DISM /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Media.MediaFeaturePack and it could not find Media Feature Pack

.msu packages are available only for older builds and are not applicable to Windows 10 N 21H1.

Only option I see is to clean install normal version of Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise
