Windows update seems to have broken DRM (Media Player)
A week or so ago I got a Windows update overnight and a few days later noticed my Zune subscription wasn't recognizing DRM rights and wouldn't play music. Since Zune uses Media Player DRM I tried playing the music in Media Player and got the following error:
Windows Media Player is not installed properly. Reinstall the Player
I then spent several hours reinstalling and attempting to fix the DRM all to no avail. Finally I reloaded the entire computer. Everything seemed fine for several days, than last night a set of updates installed and now I have the same problem again.
The interesting thing is that I can't find any mention of this online or on here (granted my forum search capabilities not great).
I can't believe this would only affect me, and with a relatively stock load right now I have hard time believing it's an incompatibility.
Anyone have any thoughts? I am not reloading again, I will just install Zune in virtual machine and remove Media Player at this point if not, I don't use it for anything else anyway.
edit: I did try sfc scannow command also per suggestions on media player problems
Thanks in advance for any help.
