Windows 10: Why does Groove Music stop playing music randomly on Windows 10?

Zohaib Altaf · Jul 4, 2024

Hi everyone,I'm experiencing an issue with Groove Music on my Windows 10 system. The app stops playing music randomly, and I have to restart it to get it working again. This happens whether I'm playing music from my local library or streaming from OneDrive. I've tried basic troubleshooting steps like reinstalling the app, checking for updates, and running the Windows troubleshooter, but the issue persists.Has anyone else encountered this problem with Groove Music? Are there any solutions or workarounds that can help resolve this issue?Thank you for your assistance!

:)

Groove Music

My Groove music suddenly stopped playing files when I doubleclick on them (groove music launches but is blank). I can use a different player but I have to click into that player as Groove Music is my default. I am reorganizing all of my music (tens of thousands of files) and this won't work for me.
Any suggestions?
I have Windows 10 on a PC.
I found an online troubleshooting that suggesting I delete temporary files and reset Internet explorer which I did and which has not helped.
thank you
(I am also not super tech savy so laymen's instructions is appreciated)
