Is there any details or instructions on this. I just upgraded my win7 HTPC and ran into this issue unknowingly.

I'm not directly tied to WMC, but that is only the useable Live TV & Guide option I could find.

It works even on latest Win 11 Windows Insider test compilation (v. 22471.1000)
There's some small issues: WMC must be manually reinstalled after each upgrade; also the BackupRestore function doesn't work, after installation I must detect TV tuners and search channels. But after doing this WMC...

Sorry for the delay, but all seems back to normal now. Must've just been unfortunate timing.

Thanks for the help!

Thanks technodevotee,

Always appreciate your help in these forums!

Ask and ye shall recieve.

The limitation being that the sharing of recorded content still involves mapping shares for each media center.

@StinkyImp, if they're not into majorly technical things I wouldn't recommend a PC or NAS media serving solution to your family folks as you would be responsible for setting it all up and keeping it running. But that's no different from WMC in it's hay-day. I loved it because I was really into that...

But I Can't Create My Account On The My Digital Life Website, Can You Help Me?

Thank you so much!

Are any of the tuners new to the system?

Slow channel changing and playing Live TV can be caused by PlayReady when changes have been made to the configuration.

I've never used USB tuners in WMC but but can you not unplug or disable them in the registry one at a time?

Thanks. Yeah, this is all about Live TV for me. Bummer.

I actually had no listings on they particular registry entry.

But I did figure out that it was my USB 3 card not playing nice with Windows 10. It worked in 7, and works in 10 but only got HDD's not multimedia devices like the tuners. No idea why.

Thanks for the info though.

Generally speaking, I have been able to do upgrades within the 8.8.1 - 8.8.5 range on my testbeds, restoring the database and registry settings using backuprestoresettings and not lost the history, line up or schedule.

However, Microsoft do like to keep us on our toes and there have been a few...

I Don’t Think That Modern Media UI+ Would Be Right, It’s Not Fluent, Not Colorful, Different Design Language, And Contains A Virus In Setup, You Have To Find A WMC Theme That Was More Fluent, More Colorful, More Windows 11-Like, And Some Others, Please Find Another. :think:

Yes. Basically, the newer the version of Windows 10 operating system, the harder it is to run WMC.

Virtually every major upgrade will stop WMC working and it need to be uninstalled and reinstalled. So the same will apply to Windows 11 when it arrives.

If your system is working, your best bet is...

Yes it works fine

you might not have to uninstall and reinstall WMC even Ok thanks! I'll do the update.

Did you run the uninstall as administrator?

I'm not sure this will work, but might be worth a try. Some of us who used DVBLink had the same issue where trying to turn a channel on gave no feedback and it was just down to a missing file. You need to copy it to the ehome language folder (from the WMC installer Zip :...

W O R K I N G !

After reading through several threads, it seemed somewhat related to Intel graphics.

I had an old GT610 and dropped it in. Boom! Works fine and plays the recorded files fine also.

I am guessing it is something related to the Intel graphics and Windows 10. This system was used as...

Thank you!! It works :)
