    WMP version update


    WMP = Windows Media Player

    How do I determine the version number of Windows Media Player on my PC?
    - Win7 32-bit Home Premium

    There is no "About" button in WMP that I can find.

    Also ...
    how do I manually update WMP ?
    - I found the scheduler in "Options"
    - we use WMP about once a year for burning CDs, so scheduling is not imperative

    Thank you :)

    Damn good question.
    As far as I can remember Windows Media Player is kept updated by Windows 7 Updates.
    My last version is 12.0.7601.17514 last update 6/5/2014.
    Windows Updates must of done it because I didn't update it manually.

    Hang around for other opinions because, well I only got 3 brain cell and the memory only works in one cell.

    ***Off of the Start Orb/All Programs/right tick on WMP and select Open File Location.
    Then just hover the mouse cursor over it and a drop down should give you the information.
