When my PC was running Win7, the Emby app within WMC worked really well to stream movies from my server PC. Now that I've upgraded to Win 10 1903 and running WMC 8.8.3, I'm wondering if anyone has any experience if this app works with 8.8.3? Since officially WMC isn't made for Win 10, I wanted ask...

Howdy,
My Win10 machine updated and broke WMC. It's a Lenovo stick 300.
I caught up on WMC/Win10 and found 8.8.1. Looked promising (I don't need tuners).
Well, it's only for 64 bit. The stick 300 seems to be *not* a good idea to update to 64 bit.
So, what do I do now? What is the latest version...

Since my last post, I've created a 32 bit installer for WMC-V13.

Windows 10 has a habit of turning off Indexing (Windows Search). Search for 'Indexing Options' and turn it back on... make sure Windows Media Center is included in the locations. Click the 'Advanced' button and then the 'Rebuild' (I think) button to build and reindex.
