Windows Media Player can be only opened as administrator

Question

Tomasz Zakrzewski 36

Hi Guys,

My company is using Windows Media Player but it stopped working since few days.

I have checked that and I'm only able to open Media Player as administrator, not ordinary User(Media Player is automatically closing after opening).

I have tried to reinstall app from Windows Store etc.

We are using Windows 10 22H2 with Media Player with version 11.2304.2.0.

We didn't change anything related to GPO or app settings.

The issue is related to all company Users, not only to me.

BR,

Tomasz Zakrzewski

Right-click on Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.

When User Account Control asks you whether you want to allow changes, click Yes.

In the new window, copy and paste the following, pressing Enter after each of the commands:

regsvr32 vbscript.dll

regsvr32 wmp.dll

regsvr32 jscript.dll

Close down Command Prompt and restart your PC.

You may need to uninstall and reinstall the app.
