Windows 10: Windows 10 N version upgrade... Where's the Media Feature Pack?

So W10 is out, yet the Media Feature Pack isn't.


In case you don't know, the Media Feature Pack is what brings back Windows Media Player to Windows N versions.


For example, here's W8.1's download page: Download Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 8.1 from Official Microsoft Download Center

Or 7's: Download Media Feature Pack for Windows 7 N with Service Pack 1 and Windows 7 KN with Service Pack 1 (KB968211) from Official Microsoft Download Center



The reason I want the Media Feature Pack is because I cannot stand these "apps" replacements. I want my good 'ol Windows Media Player.

:)

If Media Feature Pack for N and KN wont install on your OS

You may need to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro

A recent update to Windows 10 N has deleted Media Player.

A recent update to Windows 10 N has deleted Media Player. (Feature update to Windows 10 N version 1607 - 9/22/16)

I tried installing KB3010081 - Feature pack for Windows. I did this originall after the Windows 10 upgrade to get Media Player on the "N" version. This time it did not work.

1) Why did Microsoft delete my Media Player?

2) How do I get it back?

 

Also, I should add...

When W8.0 came out, MS released the Media Feature Pack a few days before the OS came out.

 

They said they are going to be releasing that later on but for now people can use vlc media player

 

Do what I do and just use K-Light Codec pack.
It has all the codecs you will ever need, is constantly being updated, comes with Windows Media Player Classic x86 and x64 and is 100% free.
It will play anything including 4K videos with ease.

 

Not really visible in the Microsoft Download Center but I found the link to the Media Feature Pack for N versions of Windows 10:

Download Media Feature Pack for N and KN versions of Windows 10 from Official Microsoft Download Center

 

Thanks!

 

Oddly enough I gave a link a website that allows you to install the Windows Media Center back to Win 10 and some booger decided to delete it. I guess, no links? Jealousy to another site?
Win Aero also has plenty of tutorials to basically uninstall ANYTHING on 10 that you just don't want.

 

That would be me. Try using the search feature.

There already is a thread here about the media center.

Microsoft's discontinued Media Center suite can now unofficially... - Windows 10 Forums
