How to Recover WMP 12? Troubleshooter has no WMP, no checkbox etc
This is a way out-of-date Windows 10 Home Ver 1607 HP laptop on which the user 'accidentally' clobbered WMP 12 and now wants it back. I tried the recommended way but the entire entry for Windows Media Player is missing from the Media features list. There's no "feature" to install. I tried the Troubleshooter View-All and there is no media anything there.
So, obviously we could clean install modern Windows 10 but the user isn't wanting to go through all the application installations, move/relocate user files and all that. A repair-install from ISO is an option but how risky is that to the users clutter of apps, data files, shortcuts [she is still using Internet Explorer ...yikes], Favorites etc. Some of those attempts have gone badly.
What is your recommendation please?
