Hello,
I need to download the Media Feature Pack to play Minecraft Java Edition, but it's not on the "Optional Features" list where every tutorial says to go to download it. I'm running Windows 10 Version 1909 OS Build 18363.1256. What do I do?

I already tried those methods, but the Media Feature Pack still doesn't show in the "Optional Features" list. What do I do now?

Open control panel and go to Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features, on the left select
'Turn Windows Features on of off'. Check if there is Media Features / Windows Media Player selected.
