A lot of features have been removed based on the release of the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. In fact, one of the things that might have been removed in the update is the Windows Media Player.

Although it can be said that Windows Media Player has no longer been an essential addition to the updated operating system, many people are still dependent on it to play various video or audio content.

This happened during the installation of the KB4046355 on devices running Windows 10 version 1709, which is the Fall Creators Update. Accordingly, Windows Media Player has been removed from the OS, but it doesn’t entirely remove the access to it.

However, you can bring back the media player by installing it via the “Add a Feature” setting. Just open Settings -> Apps -> Apps and Features -> Manage optional features. Choose the “Add a feature” and scroll down to Windows Media Player and click “Install”.

In a report released by Microsoft Corp. spokesperson, however, the plan was not to remove Windows Media Player from the Windows 10 platform. Anyway, you can always look for alternative media players for Windows PC.
