    I have windows 10, upgraded from a non premium windows 8 and have this problem as well. I have not found a solution other than leaving the computer on.

    In addition, it appears I have to have the computer logged into my account for the recording to work, not sure if the WMC service is installed with the windows 10 port, but if I can't reliably record shows, I don't have much use for this.

    So I found this old app called Relauncher
    h**ps: slash slash [www dot barnesian dot com/relaunch-2-02-a-launcher-for-windows-media-center-updated
    If an executable can be created o launch the Netflix Windows app we can launch Netflix from WMC and have it close and bring back WMC when you close the app or hit wmc button

    windows apps stored here
    %windir%\explorer.exe shell:::{4234d49b-0245-4df3-b780-3893943456e1}

    If you used the latest version you should aready have it in your language.

    If not just copy the fr-FR mui folder to the corresponding place on your pc

    Thank you for your answer,

    I try to do it with fr-FR (in tablet PC ehome folder) founded on my laptop PC in ehome folder, but WMC doesn't start anymore...
    If i delete the fr-FR, put in place en-US folder installed with the package founded in this thread, WMC starts again...

    My little tablet is a Chuwi Vi8 dual boot, but in english language, and set to french with region parameters,
    Is there a relation with the WMC language problem ?

    If no, do you know where i can find fr-FR for this thread WMC package ?

    I hope it's clear, sorry for my poor english !

    Thank you again...

    The right ones are inside the install package. just copy the fr-FR folder from there and put it inside \ehome.

    I didn't download or install the x86 version, yet.

    If the MUIs aren't included you can find them on the W10 x86 ISO or fr-FR language pack.

    10036 is the latest version that includes the WMC MUIs, but you can use an earlier W10 build or LP, as well.

    I followed the directions (post 1245, as per latest) and while it installed and seemed to find the channels... when I select to watch live TV it tells me I don't have the necessary codec/s.
    Any idea as to a fix for this?
