Windows 10: WMP Does not work

Hi, Windows 10 Pro on a Toshiba C655-S5540 laptop will not play any dvds. VLC will not play any dvds. In fact Nothing will play dvds. Can't even figure out how to get Autoplay to work. I have pretty much tried everything and about to take this thing down to the river and teach it how to swim.,

WMP Problem

It should be there. Let's try again, step by step.

First, find out what version of Windows you have. Use the Winkey + R to bring up the 'Run' box, type Winver then click OK. You should see a version number, 1511, 1607 or 1703.

If you have 1703, open Settings > Apps. For any other version open Settings > System.

Click on Default in the list to the left (in 1703 it's called Default apps).

Scroll down the list to find 'Video player'. This will probably say the default is 'Films & TV'. Whatever it says, click on it to bring up a list of possible apps to set as the default. You should see something like this with Windows Media Player in the 'Choose an application' list. Click on Windows Media Player and it will become the default for all types of video.

 

How to force WMP to always apply/display changes to mp3 tag info?

Hello CS,
Quote: "...I'm not sure if your edit indicates that you found the answer to the quoted question above..."

Thank you for your reply. I was responding to your thread at the beginning of this thread which TD replied "...it should be listed in Extended Tags as a tag called RATING WMP...". So, I just did what you suggested and voila! The ratings that I've entered in WMP all these years show up in MP3tag! However, unfortunately a new rating I entered in WMP just now does not. I even rebooted my PC and still no luck. Does it happen with you too? Have I missed any steps?

 

playlist WMP info disappeared > I can't play them (songs are missing)

Hello,

• Have you made any changes to the system prior to this issue?

As an initial troubleshooting step, I suggest you to perform system restore to the previous point
where it was working normally.

To do so kindly follow the below given steps:

• 
  Press Windows + I key and click on Update and security.
  
• 
  Click on Recovery, and click on
  Restart under Advance startup.
  
• 
  In the Windows Recovery Environment, on the Choose an option screen, click
  'Troubleshoot'.
  
• 
  Click, Advanced Options and then click on
  System Restore.
  
• 
  Follow the onscreen suggestion to restore your PC to earlier point.
