This problem is really annoying, my WMP simply won't start, I just closed the WMP and when I tried to open it back, it just didn't. Already uninstalled and installed it back, nothing happened, the process does'nt start, I tried to run every .exe file at the WMP folder, didn't opened either, whenever I try to open a music file .mp3 it says server execution failed.
You can't uninstall windows media player as it is part of the OS. Do you mean you turned windows media player off in windows programs and features?
Try doing the following:
1.) Clicktype cmd in search. Right click. Run as administrator. Then at the command prompt, type in
sfc /scannow
See if it reports any integrity violations.
2.) Try the windows media player settings and library troubleshooter.
Go to
This Mr. Fixit for me is pretty quick to try,
