    Windows Media Player won't play .flv files


    I have never been able to play Flash files in any version of Windows Media Player. At previous job for over ten years managing quarterly presentations, and would often be asked to play videos from the web. I would usually go in to IE's cache and take the .flv files, and could never get them to play in WMP. Until I discovered VLC, I was always having to play them in IE.

    I hardly see this as a negative for Windows 10. Flash should have died years ago. If Windows Media Player was as full featured as you'd like, some other company would end up suing due to "anti-competitive practives".
