Windows 10: Windows Media Streaming

I am unable to turn on windows media streaming:

"Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service or a service that it depends on failed to start"

None of the "fixes" I've tried make any difference. Has anyone else had this problem/solution?

Windows 10

Thanks

Media streaming problems


Since I got the upgrade to Windows 10, Media player has been at best quirky at worse totally useless. Originally I could stream media to my televisions but any editing I did in media player was not reflected in the DLNA client on the TV, for example genres that had been deleted or changed still appeared in the list. I tried deleting the media player database with no change, I reinstalled media player and now I cant stream anything at all. The server shows up on my TV with the proper categories but the list is always empty. I have turned on streaming, shared the files and added them to the media player database. Since the primary reason for this PC is to stream media to TVs in my house I am very disappointed, is there anyone who might have another idea that I haven't tried ?

It could be that the Flash Player in Edge was disabled after the update. We suggest that you enable it again and see if you are able to stream your media again. Here's how to enable the Flash Player in Edge:

• Open Edge.
• Click the "..." on the top-right corner of Edge.
• Select Settings.
• Click View advanced settings.
• Toggle the switch for Adobe Flash Player to enable it.
• Close the Edge browser window and open a new one.

• Resolved Media Streaming issue. Go to settings, type services into search box, left click on view local services, scroll down list to Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service and left click on it.
  
  In the center of the popup box you will see Startup type:. Click on the drop down arrow. There will be four choices. I chose Automatic and media streaming is enabled on my computer once I set it.
