Hi Gareth Thanks for posting this, it's about time for me to change design on WMC. Best regards Michael
Looks like I need to re-enable my insider updates! Can I ask which other versions you tried? Did you try V13 with the workarounds? It is interesting that it is kernelbase because we've seen issues with that when metadata downloading is enabled in WMC.
Hello All, I'm new here but possibly this is an easy one? I have a Win 7/64 setup that I use as a CD jukebox with WMC. I love it and wanted to make another for some travel use. I bought a Dell laptop and put a 7/64 image on it and installed my WAV files and to my dismay MS stopped giving album art for it just a few weeks before. After some consideration I updated it to 10/64 and then the album art appeared in WMPlayer. I have done everything I can see mentioned here (I'm not a programmer) but I still have an issue. WMC starts fine and if I run a slide show of images it works fine. If I load the Music section it starts to work and the art even shows up but I then get a "Windows Media Center Has Stopped Working" pop-up and it shuts down. Any thoughts?
Im running winver 1903 18632.295 which was updated from 1809 im using 8.8.3, i have manually updated the dll's and may have some other tweeks from earlier versions like fix thumbnails, ehtray and systray in the startup leftover from the previous windows ver. I had the same problem and I don't like having artwork disabled as it doesn't download movie info. Try installing the latest ver of ModernMedia.UI+.Setup.1.1.3 you can uninstall it afterwards
@Bigal, I don't understand. Are you saying that 8.8.3 doesn't crash when you have download artwork enabled but 8.8.4 does? I've had this problem on every version of WMC since Windows 10 1709.
I thought i was clear in my post, I have edited it, hope its clearer. i haven't tried 8.8.4 because 8.8.3 works for me Let me know if you want more info, like file versions ect, be specific on exactly what you want
Hi all, as a long time media centre user the last windows update was the last straw... I thought I'd share that after testing alternatives media portal was the way forward it's simple enough that non tech users can use it. Thought I'd share it as my last post on here before signing off to wmc
I tried not running in full screen and also tried jcf launcher. It seemed to make the problem worse. Anyone else having this issue? It's strange it's only happening on 2 HD channels out of 5.
I assume you have tried all the workarounds - upgrading/downgrading graphics driver, changing high dpi settings, disabling game mode, focus assist, full screen optimisation, enabling compatibility modes, copying ehome to different folder? None of these work for me on the one PC that has problems but other people say they do.
Yeah, having re-enabled insider updates, my testbed went to 18963 and then to 18970.1001 and it is exactly the same. Worrying because read somewhere that 18363 is the next RTM so I guess it is time to lock down all the other PCs!
