Windows Media Player Error: Can't Play 0xc00d11cd (0x80070017)

Trying to play a movie off of my E:\ drive and it plays with good audio and video for about 3 seconds. Then it starts acting like it's buffering from the internet and pausing for several seconds before playing again...ultimately crashing the program with an error message telling me to contact the maker of my Xbox for support. This is a PC I built without scavenging XBoxes or any other video game consoles, even the dust that ended up in the case is original. Why the hell does it think I need to contact Xbox.com in order to solve this problem? Further more, this movie has been on my hard drive for years and hasn't had problems playing until Windows 10.

The exact text of the error is here:

Can't play.
Please try again. If the problem continues, visit Xbox.com to check for guidance.
