These are 100% CLEAN Distributions Please consider donating. A coffee and donut will do.
I have implementing an Auto-Update feature that will allow users to update all distributed files directly from within the GUI
without the need to download full codec releases.This new feature will be controlled by the existing checkbox on the Help tab.
If you are seeking support for the Movies & TV App, follow this LINK
It would also be necessary to uncheck the WMP suggested settings checkbox.
With the newly enabled Save | Restore settings feature on the Misc TAB, you can save a current configuration and
then have it automatically restored during a future upgrade installation.
The automatic restoration of settings during upgrades is set to 'on' by default. You just need to choose to [Save ALL Settings] to activate it.
If your setup changes at any time, you can just hit the Save button again to set the new settings for future use.
You can also control the Restore feature from the command line
The above command line link also contains more comprehensive information about this feature.
A new feature recently added allows a single checkbox to setup Windows Media Player to play all of your files. [x] WMP suggested settings.
It will also break playback in the Movies & TV App and cause errors in the Store. Unchecking the box will restore the Movies & TV App and Store functionality.
Following up with another new feature found on the Swap tab is a checkbox for the Preview Pane allowing display of thumbnails only in the Pane.
For those that used the pane in the past, the default unchecked box still displays the stuck thumbnail and allows playback in the Pane.
The Microsoft installed video drivers on a new installation of Windows are not sufficient
To meet your needs, you need to go to the GPU manufacturers site, AMD, Nvidia or Intel, and install their latest offering.
Don't go to the computer manufacturer site because their driver offerings are usually quite old and may not solve your problem.
