How to Open Media in Windows Media Player Windows 10.

Media Player hasn’t changed too much visually with the release of Windows 8, it has just become only a tad harder to find. I repeat, the point of this tutorial is to help out those who are real newbies to the new Windows operating system and want an answer to their query. If you are only interested in opening Media Player, the quickest way to do it is just to press the Windows key + W letter and type there ‘Media Player‘ or ‘Windows Media Player‘.

When you run Windows Media Player, the program automatically sorts through your computer’s stash of digital music, pictures, and videos, automatically cataloging everything it finds.

But if you’ve noticed that some of your PC’s media is missing from the Windows Media Player Library, you can tell the player where to find those items by following these steps:

Note: Unlike the Music app, Windows Media Player can play OneDrive files only if they are synced to your PC. It can’t play music files that are available on OneDrive only through the Internet.

When it comes to enjoying different forms of digital media on Windows 10, Microsoft includes Groove Music, Movies & TV, and its Photos apps. These are elegant apps that work well, but if you’ve recently upgraded Windows 7 to Windows 10, you might be more comfortable using Windows Media Player (WMP) instead.

After buying a brand new Windows 10 computer, double-clicking a video file opens it in Films & TV (or Movies & TV) and the Windows Media Player shortcut is nowhere to be seen.
