    wma files wont play on windows media player


    bought a new pc with windows 10 and windows media player and now I cant play my windows media audio files on windows media player. support accessed my computer and couldn't fix the problem.. Now I have years worth of music and other files I cant use. its a joke when windows files don't play on widows media player.

    Windows Media Player not playing WMA Files

    Windows Media Player is not playing WMA Files, after an update to windows 10 was installed about 6 mths ago. how do I restore the wma playing feature or is there a conversion available to transfer files from WMA TO MP3?

    [Moved from: Windows / Windows 10 / Windows update, recovery, & backup]

    Download WMA File to Windows Media Player.

    Unable to download a WMA File to Windows Media Player. WMP "HELP" is unable to offer any suggestion. I am trying to change a WMA file to MP3.

    I'm not too bright, but will appreciate any suggestions.

    wma files wont play on windows media player

    wma files in Explorer, don't show in Windows Media Player Library


    Upgraded from 64-bit Win 7 pro to Win 10 v1607 build 14393.693.
    .wma files associated with windows media player 11 (32 bit?).
    Files show in Windows Explorer under users\[username]\Music.
    User has full rights to folder and subs
    In Windows Explorer, doubleclicking file plays any song using Windows Media Player.
    But launching Windows Media Player, and opening Library shows only one song.
    In Explorer, the song's artist is 6th in a long list and that album has 10 songs.

    Have tried removing the library and re-adding it. No luck.

    Thanks in advance!
