Windows Media player Library Windows 10

Hi Pat,

The error ‘Media library is corrupt’ occurs when the Windows Media Player library database has become corrupted.

To resolve this problem, clear the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + R, click
  Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Player, and then click
  OK.
  
• 
  Select all the files in the folder, and then click
  Delete on the File menu.
  

Note: You do not have to delete the folders that are in this folder.

Restart Windows Media Player.

If this does not resolve the problem, clear the Windows Media Player database cache files. To do this, follow these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + R, click
  Run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft, and then click
  OK.
  
• 
  Select the Media Player folder, and then click
  Delete on the File menu.
  
• 
  Restart Windows Media Player.
  

Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

Hope it helps. Do let us know, if you have any further queries about Windows 10.
We will be happy to assist you.
