Windows 10: Very frequent WMP appcrashes in Reliability History

Hello,

Since the half of august I noticed that there are APPCRASH events in the Reliability History every time I open Windows Media Player. I don't notice the crash of the program itself.

Here's the log (Dutch):

I've ran the troubleshooters for Windows Media Player, they found problems and are claiming to be fixed but it didn't solve anything. Running sfc /scannow didn't show any integrity violations.

Anyone else have this problem?

WMP Problem

It should be there. Let's try again, step by step.

First, find out what version of Windows you have. Use the Winkey + R to bring up the 'Run' box, type Winver then click OK. You should see a version number, 1511, 1607 or 1703.

If you have 1703, open Settings > Apps. For any other version open Settings > System.

Click on Default in the list to the left (in 1703 it's called Default apps).

Scroll down the list to find 'Video player'. This will probably say the default is 'Films & TV'. Whatever it says, click on it to bring up a list of possible apps to set as the default. You should see something like this with Windows Media Player in the 'Choose an application' list. Click on Windows Media Player and it will become the default for all types of video.

Hippsie here's my check list:

1. SFC/DISM
2. Manuel time sync in Date & Time in the CPL
3. WSReset
4. Open up Task Schedular and run these:

I suggest the following simple steps:

1. Set the autosave options in MS Office to a low value say 5 minutes.
2. Setup file history to autosave frequently - the shortest period is 5 mins
3. Install Macrium Reflect Free and configure it to do a daily incremental system backup

You should be well covered if you do the above to protect your key files.
