Note: If your WMC v 8.

You need to install WMC version 8. You can find it on the Green Button forum. Tried ununstall and reinstall still not working. What did you find out? I can not get it to work on a fresh install of a new build machine. Did you ever get a chance to test it out on Version ?

Anybody else experiencing this phenomena? Windows 10 vers. All functionality of WMC will be intact … I have tested it on Windows 10 Version and even on the latest Windows Insider build and it works absolutely fine. It runs beautifully on my install but unfortunately it crashes catastrophically when clicking the exit button after playing a recorded TV program.

WMC says the files needed are missing, not installed or something to that effect Have tried so many permutations it's getting blurry.
