    Why does Microsoft block my streaming services?


    Hello,As the saying goes, once is an accident, twice is suspicious, and the third time it's intentional. I'm a paying subscriber to Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney Plus within the same household; there's no password sharing, and my passwords are very complex. The streaming services are functioning on all devices except for my Windows 11.I don't think it could be very likely that three days ago, all three competing platforms decided to display the same problem, namely that they can't play content. Therefore, the issue is with Microsoft, allegedly related to DRM protection. This would be weird

    :)

    Microsoft Service Blocking Games

    What I meant by disabling Microsoft services was the following:

    • Leaving "Hide Microsoft Services" unchecked, disable all services
    • Check "Hide Microsoft Services", enable all services
    • Un-check "Hide Microsoft Services", ensure most are still disabled (the ones that cannot be disabled were left enabled).
    This solved the issue for both the games, and the display settings pane.

    I have also tried a proper clean boot, disabling all non-MS services, and also disabling any MS services related to "Display", "Graphics", "XBox", and "Gaming" - this did not solve the issue.

    Re-registering the settings app did not solve the issue.

    Uninstalling the display driver with DDU and reinstalling with the latest AMD driver did not solve the issues.

    Turning off non-MS services does not solve the issues (troubleshooting step 4).

    Malwarebytes and Bitdefender premium both report no infections (step 7).

    SFC and DISM report no issues (step 10).

    New Local Admin account does not solve the issues (Step 17).

    I am in the process of preparing the Repair Install, and will report back once complete.

    Windows 10 Media Server/Streaming doesn't work.

    Hi Steven,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I suggest to turn on the IIS feature from Program and features.

    Follow the steps below:

    • Go to Control Panel
    • Program and Features
    • Turn windows features On or Off
    • Find Internet information services and click on it. Let the services start.
    Now check if you are able to stream.

    Get back to us with the updated status and we will be happy to assist you further.

    Thank you.
