Trouble finding Windows Media Pack

Question

I have had several problems related with opencv in python through anaconda. One solution I found to the problem I had was installing the windows media pack. However I tried finding it in the possible applications/features/functionalities in the settings, but to no avail. I then tried installing it through the Windows_MediaFeaturePack, which didn't work. Supposedly the windows media pack comes with windows media player, which I do have, but I'm not sure if that's really helpful. Any suggestions? Maybe the solution I saw was outdated for Windows 11.

Hi TC20,

Thanks for your post. Generally speaking, Media Feature Pack provides support for media features in Windows 10/11 N. These include media-related technologies (Windows Media Player) and certain pre-installed media apps, such as Groove Music, Movies & TV, Voice Recorder, and Skype. You must install additional software from Microsoft to have this communication functionality and to play or to create audio CDs, media files, and video DVDs, to stream music, or to take and store pictures. You can refer the following official guide to get the pack.
