    Windows Media Player troubleshooter keeps popping up every 5 minutes when listening to music


    When I listen to my music with WMP (on windows 10 home edition), that annoying "troubleshoot and help prevent problems" popup keeps happening, and if I click next it claims there are no problems. It might be because my music collection is on a removable hard drive.


    I've seen other people ask about this or how to fix it, and all responses from the Microsoft team pretty much say the same thing. To wipe and reinstall everything. not happening, because this solves nothing. Another thing the Microsoft team says to do is to disable and re-enable WMP, which doesn't work.

    Is there a fix in the works here, or do I just need to abandon ship and find a new music player? This has been a known issue for at least 6 years now...

    windows media player

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    What is the exact error message you get when you to try play files on Windows Media Player?

    I suggest you to run both Windows Media Player Library and Settings troubleshooter and check.

    Step 1: If your computer is having problems playing video or audio files in Windows Media Player, try using the Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter checks the configuration and network settings
    for Windows Media Player to make sure that you can play content you've downloaded and saved to your computer, or content streaming over a network or the Internet.

    Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.
    • In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
      Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all, and then click Windows Media Player Settings
      and follow the instructions.

    Step 2: If your computer is having problems accessing your collection of digital media files in the Windows Media Player Library, try using the Windows Media Player Library troubleshooter to fix the problem. The troubleshooter makes sure
    Windows Media Player is correctly installed on your computer, and checks to see whether your Player Library is corrupted.

    Steps to run Windows Media Player Settings troubleshooter are as follows:

    • Press Windows key + X and select Control Panel.
    • In the search box, type troubleshooter, and then click
      Troubleshooting.
    • Click View all, and then click Windows Media Player Library
      and follow the instructions.
