Windows 10: Win10-2004 media player will not play wmv file

Recently updated win10 to -2004, screenshot:




and I am now finding that the media player MP in this version will not play wmv files.

The result of trying to pay a captured wmv file in MP was a black screen with audio.

So, I resorted to my test video clip - wildlife.wmv, it came originally with win7 and I used it for a long time as a test clip with an HDMI-connected large wallscreen.

Playing wildlife.wmv in MP gave me the same result as the captured file - black video screen but with audio. screenshot sized to 950 horiszontally




But playing the same file in VLC player was correct: screenshot




So, why won't win10 media player play a wmv file?

And what can I do configure MP to get it to do so???

windows media player won't play wmv files. I get audio only but no video.

 

WMV file clean up?

I would like to know, if anyone can recommend me a good WMV file clean-up program that strip the file from all crap that was get added into it.

The problem?

I tried to fix video play pauses with video from Panasonic TZ3 camera by updating the BSplayer to v 2.21 or so... It not fix the issue, but it added a troyan to my system. When I get rid of it, some WMV videos (rather perverted and rare, so to add) get busted - eg. it is not possible to play them anymore with old WinMedia player 7, or BSplayer Pro 1.41.
Media Player Classic and WinMedia player 9 can play them, tough.

I tried the ASF-AVI-RM-WMV Repair v1.82 ( repairvideo.com ) but it did not help me with this particular issue - but it did speed-up playing start of some RM files, so it does work somewhat...

Any ideas, suggestions?

If necessary I can upload on rapidsh*t some tame files, like:
Realtickling - Vibcharlotte3.wmv
...to be inspected *Big Grin 88 240 450 bytes, tough...

Anyone?

 

Windows 10 does not play WMV video files


Hi

Having recently updated to Windows 10, I am astonished (annoyed) to discover Windows 10 does not play WMV video files, particularly those created using Windows Movie Maker. There doesn't seem to be very much advice on this on the net and the following is short list of the tried and failed suggestions:

• Turning on/off WMP through Control Panel>Programs>Programs & Features>Turn Windows Feature On or Off.
  
  
• Repeating the above then restarting my laptop twice, after which running sfc/scannow at the Command Prompt.

• Disabling / enabling "Turn on DirectX Video Acceleration for WMV files" in WMP Options.

• Troubleshooting Fix via Control Panel>All Control Panel Items>Troubleshooting>All Categories>Windows Media Player Settings - this just returns the message "Configuration settings might be set incorrectly" - but doesn't expand on what settings are wrong.

I also came across this "FIX: Updade to enable DirectX Video Acceleration (DXVA) of Windows Media Video content in Windows Media 10" at Windows 10 help and how-to - Windows Help.

However after downloaded the 'fix' (Download the WindowsMedia10-KB888656-x86-Global-ENU.exe package now.) it doesn't install - instead I get the error message "Not enough storage is available to process this command".

I appreciate that there are third party free WMV players available, but I liked WMP and cannot understand why it won't work on Windows 10. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks

George
