Windows 10: Windows 11 Pro: Media Player Startup Slow

When I use the Media Player app in my Acer laptop running Windows 11 Pro, it used to only take a couple of seconds to load in audio or video before it started playing. Recently, I noticed that the loading process takes significantly longer than it used to like about 5 to 10 seconds per media and it's starting to get on my nerves.I've tried restarting the laptop several times, clearing the cache, reinstalling the app, and even a clean boot to the entire laptop, and yet none of those things worked. And it's not like all of these are extremely long stuff anyways: most audio and video I'm load

Windows Media Player 11 misses release day

Microsoft had scheduled Windows Media Player 11 for final release on October 24th, 2006. Microsoft has delayed release of the next version of its media player to an unspecified date. "As with any release, quality is our top priority, and we felt we needed a few additional days to bring Windows Media Player 11 up to the high quality standards we--and our customers and partners--demand." Microsoft did not mention exactly what part of Windows Media Player 11 didn't meet the bar. Microsoft has no defined date of when Windows Media Player 11 will be released, though rumors around the internet claim that Microsoft will release it on October 30th.
