    WMP has stopped running


    Windows Media Player stopped running on my Windows 10 Version 1803 desktop PC after about 6 pm PDT this evening. If I click on an mp3 in the Music folder, it will run in the other mode but will stop if I try to switch to "Library" mode.


    The error message is:

    WMP has stopped running daaf2cfc-4bc6-4fd5-bae1-65d4a5a32774?upload=true.png

    and once I close this window it soon appears again and when I close the second then WMP stops.


    I have restarted to no avail.

    :)

    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.

    WMP playlists are a mess

    Between those two steps, delete them all out of the WMP view so that only the ones you have in the file folder are imported and are only listed once.

    WMP Problem


    Welcome to TenForums @Badger100

    Assuming the video clip is in a format WMP can play, choose 'Open with' then click 'Choose another app'. Scroll down to the bottom of the list of 'Other options' and click 'More apps...'. Does WMP appear in this extended list? If so select it and click 'OK'. You will open your clip in WMP and from now on WMP will appear in the list offered by 'Open with'. Optionally, if you tick the 'always open with...' box WMP will be set as the default for this type of file.

    If you don't see WMP in that list, at the bottom is a 'Look for another app on this PC' link, browse and find it in Program Files and select wmplayer.exe. Again, opening your clip in WMP this way will also add it to the 'Open with' list of apps.

    That is just one way to set a default app, it's Option Two in this tutorial.
