Windows 10: Why can't I take a screenshot of the media player anymore?

Before it became just "Media Player," there used to be an option to "capture an image of your video." That option no longer exists. I've looked around on the web, and I've tried taking a screenshot in full screen only to have the toolbar pop back up as I do. This is incredibly frustrating; it was a perfectly fine feature that did not need to be removed.

What is the exact error message you get when you to try play files on Windows Media Player?

I suggest you to run both Windows Media Player Library and Settings troubleshooter and check.

Step 1: If your computer is having problems playing video or audio files in Windows Media Player, try using the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter checks the configuration and network settings
for Windows Media Player to make sure that you can play content you've downloaded and saved to your computer, or content streaming over a network or the Internet.

Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:

• Press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.
• In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
  Troubleshooting.
• Click View all, and then click Windows Media Player Settings
  and follow the instructions.

Step 2: If your computer is having problems accessing your collection of digital media files in the Windows Media Player Library, try using the Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter makes sure
Windows Media Player is correctly installed on your computer, and checks to see whether your Player Library is corrupted.

Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:

• Press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.

Media players

Personal question here, wtf?

You've posted into the free program list with a media player: http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/t...e-usually-for-free.144395/page-8#post-3357066

Immediately prior to that post you create a thread asking for people to talk about media players. I don't get the logic. If you're going to start off asking for media players, then there are multiple listed on that thread. If the intention was a review, the other thread also had them. Is this just an opinion thread?


Edit:
Let me clarify. The other thread has links. It has discussion. It has opinions. This thread seems to be a parallel, if less broad, topic.
