    Windows Media Player Error: Media Library Corrupted?!?! Please Help!


    Hi all,

    I was using Windows Media Player earlier and it crashed and a little Troubleshooting window popped up saying:

    I checked through the troubleshooting window and it says that this issue was detected:
    "The media library used by Windows Media Player is corrupted. This might affect your ability to browse and search for media files on your computer."

    I'm very worried about this because I'm worried that it means my video files and MP3 files have been corrupted???

    Am I safe to reboot my PC now as I need to install Windows 10 updates...?

    Thank you for any ideas.

    It's old, from 2009, but still applies.
