    Why can't I create a new playlist with the media player?


    I can't create any playlists; the option is grayed out. I've tried to reinstalling, repairing, resetting it etc., but nothing works. I've also deleted the folder that's in the location %LOCALAPPDATA% > Microsoft > Media Player, but that hasn't worked either.Thanks in advance.

    New media player not creating playlists

    I am running Windows 11 Pro all updates installed, along with the new Media Player app with all updates installed, on a Dell Dimension XPS-8940 11th Gen Intel Core i9 with 16 cores, 64GB memory. My Music files are in a music directory on a Synology NAS drive. Media Player works perfectly, has my whole Library stored, but refuses to create a playlist. When I tell it to create a new playlist and enter the name, it does not create the playlist. When I click on playlists in the left-hand menu pane, it tells me there are no playlists create. When I try to add music to a playlist, it again tells me there are none. I can go to a music subdirectory in Fle Explorer, and tell it to play all files in a directory, it will open media player and play everything, but I just can't create a playlist. I can even add all files to the open media player, and check the boxes and play just what I want, but I can't save a playlist. Can Anyone help?

    Why can't I create a new playlist with the media player?

    Saving playlists in windows media player

    I am trying to add a playlist in windows media player. I have several from my time with windows 7. I add the songs to the playlist and try to save the new list. I would type in the name and I would get "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while creating
    or saving the playlist." I have tried many things and I have looked at the suggested fixes but I have no idea what to do.

    Any suggestions that can help?

    I know I ask a lot but I try to help.
