Recently updated win10 to -2004, screenshot:

and I am now finding that the media player (MP) in this version will not play wmv files.

The result of trying to pay a captured wmv file in MP was a black screen with audio.

So, I resorted to my test video clip - wildlife.wmv, it came originally with win7 and I used it for a long time as a test clip with an HDMI-connected large wallscreen.

Playing wildlife.wmv in MP gave me the same result as the captured file - black video screen but with audio. screenshot (sized to 950 horiszontally)

But playing the same file in VLC player was correct: screenshot

So, why won't win10 media player play a wmv file?

And what can I do (configure MP) to get it to do so???
