Windows 10: Windows 11 behaving as if scan last media key is stuck on

Good evening,I've been having an issue for the last couple of days where Windows behaves as if the scan last media key is being held down/pushed rapidly. The application isn't relevant: on iTunes, if I try to listen to a playlist, it doesn't work. Youtube's My Mix feature, it cycles back through to the first song/video on the list. VLC, it tries to go back to the previous track until I don't have the window selected, after which the song will play. I've tried reinstalling my keyboard and mouse drivers, which has had no effect. I followed the advice in this thread:https://answers.microsoft.com/

stuck with Windows media problem

still stuck

Darren and Reign,
I could still use your help.

Things just aren't working and I have tried all I can think of plus your suggestions. I've done the WM codec installation. I have installed the encoder9. I have installed the community codec. I have tried to rollback the media player and reinstall various versions. Nothing has solved the problem.

Two points of interest however.
I installed windows XP video decoder check up utility. It lists about seven or eight different decoders...none of which are recommended as preferred MPEG 2 decoders. (I downloaded the same program to my vista drive and it lists as the first item a MPEG 2 decoder. It is checked in green but is still listed as "not recommend for the system a a preferred decoder." That line item decoder does not show up in the list on the XP drive).
Also, I downloaded Quicktime. When I attempted to play a .wma file on it the visual was brighter than it has been to this point. That was encouraging even though the image was still darkened more than it should be. Unfortunately, in an effort to download further codec components the visual seems to have fallen back to its extremely darkened screen and I can no longer make out the images.

I hope that information might trigger another thought from you as to another option that I might try.
Thanks, chirp.

stuck with Windows media problem

It has absolutely nothing to do with the player you are using, your missing the required codecs. Uninstall all your current media softwares and codecs and try "Combine Community Codec" as it can play most files easily and integrates well with Windows Media player.
