After installing the latest Feature Pack for Windows 10 (1703), I have lost Windows Media Player.

This is not a problem in itself, since I actually do not use the program, but a 3rd party program uses WMVcore.DLL as well as my "Movies & TV" app is not working.

I tried installing Windows Media Pack via this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/confirmation.aspx?id=48231

But I cannot and get this error message: The update is not applicable to your computer.

I have the x64 version of Windows and am trying to install the x64 version of the Media Pack.

    Guys,

    The solution is pretty simple to get media player back, just right click on your windows logo and choose "System", then type " Optional" in the search box and click on add optional features, you'll see Media player just click on it and install it, Problem Solved, you'r welcome.

    That worked (after also repairing Windows).

    It turned out that it is 1709 my version, so I used the linked provided.

    Thanks.
