WMP 10 is Released


Recommended Posts

I am going crazy over this little red X box ;-) on top right corner. no plugins running. browser cache/cookies everything flushed. system restarted still that thing is there.  :angry:

I know it is supposed to show that msn butterfly over there!!!

(t appears when I select "MSN Music Preview" online store.)

I dug a bit into registry and found these entries...  :whistle:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MediaPlayer\Services\MSNMusic]

"ImageLargeUrl"="http://beta.music.msn.com/client/msnlogo.png"

"ImageSmallUrl"="http://beta.music.msn.com/client/msnsmall.png"

"ImageMenuUrl"="http://beta.music.msn.com/client/msnsmall.png"

the third entry I've entered manually but is still not helping and it opens from a browser window.

if you look under napster section all entries are there..and napster icon works fine  :blink:

Now works fine for me.

Thanks :yes:

Ok, this is getting on my nerves. Everything works perfectly, I don't get the X problem, but I can't get Info Center View to work.

The Help for WMP10 gives me this...

In my opinion, this is a dirty stinking lie though. All it gives me is this...

What to do? Am I right in my suspicions that it only works for US users...?

Anyone of you have any trouble displaying the new visualization, Energy Bliss? I downloaded and loaded it today, but it wouldn't work. Each time it freezes my WMP10. Just wondering if it's something to do with my comp. or that it exists on some of y'all comps. as well... :huh: Thanks

open WMP 10-->choose one online service other than MSN preview-->go to tools-->options-->privacy-->clear caches-->close WMP10-->go to IE options clear your IE temp files then click these links:

now open WMP10 and choose MSN preview.

Well, that fixed mine :) Thanks, Man. By the way all you people who think Quicktime has something to do with it, it doesn't. I just installed it on a laptop that never had Itunes or Quicktime and it had same problem.

Worked for me. Thanks! :D

Ok, I got the album art to pull in, now I can't get the folders in My Music to display the album art. This worked in the other versions, but not now. I know how I would normally go about it but since the art isn't downloading I can't set the album art to display in the folders.

Any suggestions?

Guys, before performing the fix mentioned by LastSamurai, go into your internet explorer properties and under advanced, scroll all the way down to the security portion and make sure "empty temporary internet files when browser is closed" is un-checked. They tied the damn butterfly logo in with your internet cache, which means that everytime you clear it, the problem will return unless you perform the fix again. Damn stupid I say......

the problem for me is to show the album art in the info centre view, I have this wide open white space above Listeners Also Liked...

please help, all the connect to the internet to retrieve info is all set, the album art is displayed under the playlist but it won't show in the main info centre view for MSN Music Service

Can anyone help me with this problem? Is there anyway to save the sort option for all playlists? I want it to sort by name everytime, and it doesn't seem to save permanently unless I save it as a playlist. Like for example, say I have 1-5 short video clips in a folder that aren't in a playlist, I highlight them and click enter and then they go to the playlist, but in the wrong order. It will go 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 instead of 1-5. How do I fix this permanently?

I've got a problem with the upgraded version:

In the Library, in WMP 9 I could open the right album by sorting by artists and then albums, and when I closed WMP, it would remember which album was open in the Library.

After the upgrade, if I close WMP 10, and I open it again and go to the Library, it has collapsed all the artist and album configuration and it has selected All Music instead of the last album I was playing.

Anyone noticed this? (... it's possible it could just be fixed by a reinstall or reboot, but I doubt it and I'm too lazy to try it cause I got lotsa stuff running right now)

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
