I'm all set now, but a little history might be interesting.

Ah, thanks. I'll go the scheduled task route; I already know how to do that. I have a scheduled task that turns my displays off when I lock the desktop.
My user ID has administrator privilege but is there a way for my useID to launch Logitech Media Server at startup with administrator privileges?
I have WMP Tag Plus so maybe that was the problem. I'm going away for some time, and whilst I'm away, the 35 day suspension of Windows Update will expire, and I may be back where I started. But I can...
WMP may be practically discontinued but then so am I. :)
I'm willing to try other players, and have done in the past, but I always end up with WMP.
The feature that keeps me with WMP is "Auto...
I went into Windows Update to see what might have caused this problem and I noticed that I could revert to my previous version of Windows... I wonder if this will rollback Win10 Version 1803, or will...
Yes "Windows Media Player" is there, as in your picture. I've unchecked and checked the boxes, and there are no error messages, but I still get the "not properly installed".
That takes me to Your request appears to be from an automated process)
There seems to be no download. I tried various things and at one point was told that the download completed successfully. I...
Windows Media Player does not appear in Start -> Windows accessories
From "Start" I can still find Windows Media Player (Identified as a Desktop App) but when I start it I get a popup "Windows Media Player is not installed properly and must be re-installed"
I...
My Windows 10 x64 system applied a large update last evening. Now, I don't have Windows Media Player 12 any more.
Is it possible to get it back?
If not, can I rollback the update?
Perhaps I should have been clearer?
I've been using Windows since before Windows95, and I've always found it difficult to change the default DHCP to a fixed IP address. OS/2 was easier, as I...
I've just changed ISP and their supplied router (BT SmartHub) has an IP address of 192.168.1.254 whereas my previous router (ASUS RT-AC87U) was at 192.168.1.1
My Windows 10 PC is configured with a...
The holiday home doesn't have Internet access, as we don't have a telephone landline, and our nearest cellphone mast is more than 25 miles away, across the ocean. I've achieved about 100bps with an...
Here at home I have an Ethernet adapter (Cat6 connected to router) but no WiFi adapter (this is a desktop PC we're talking about).
The Dell PC that I'm planning for the holiday home will have a...
Aha, I'd forgotten about Mobile hotspots. But I cannot find this feature on my Windows 10 Pro PC.
I found a Microsoft support page that suggested Start -> Settings -> Network & Internet -> Mobile...
Our holiday cottage will soon have a Dell Small Form Factor Windows 10 Pro PC. It would be handy if visitors could access the PC via WiFi, but would that necessarily involve having a router? I've...
Well, my settings seem to be in order, and my "Steves Power" profile is the active one.
But if I wait long enough, the display does lock, so it looks like some other profile is the actual active one.
Yes, I'd saved the changes. But I had to go back into the power settings to be sure, and my Steve's Power Scheme (or something like that; I'm on my tablet, away from the PC right now) is as I'd set...
I created my own Power plan, and set "Turn off display:" to 5 minutes.
I went away for half an hour, and when I came back, the display is still on.
Any suggestions why this is not working?
I don't know. I was thrashing around, trying to eliminate "ENG" from my taskbar. I found a website which offered two methods. Method #1 worked for me, so then I tried to follow method #2 just to see...
