    WMP gone WILD! Never seen this!


    First post so HI! And my version number is: 20H2

    Today I was taking MP3's off of an external HD and adding them to a WMP playlist. Everything was going fine. I had about 60K songs in an unsaved playlist. When I tried to add about another 10K of tunes -- suddenly things went very wrong. I image I'm dead with this mess. Here is the screenshot, well none of my modes worked except to attach it.

    Anybody ever seen such a mess? Is there any fixing it? By fixing, I mean saving the 70K worth of songs that I had put onto an unsaved playlist. Thanks!

    If you have been making system images then I suggest mounting the latest one, going to the folder within that image for
    NNNNNNNNN\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player
    copying its files [don't bother with its subfolders]
    and, whilst WMP is closed, pasting them into the folder
    "%UserProfile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Media Player"

    You will lose the work you've just been doing but will revert successfully to whatever state you were in when you made your last image.

    Best of luck,

    All over my head. I'll give it a reboot and see what happens. Thanks for trying.

    You COULD try reinstalling WMP. This MAY just fix the problem.

    How to Reinstall Windows Media Player in Windows 7, 8, or 10 to Solve Problems



    Another option is just switch to MediaPlayer Classic.

    MPC-BE download | SourceForge.net




    Or even VLC Media Player

    VLC: Official site - Free multimedia solutions for all OS! - VideoLAN





    Then just go to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off...


    ...and uncheck: Windows Media Player

    Personally use something else than WMP. Microsoft has been trying to slowly kill that off.
