@Kévin Chalet , thanks for explaining. @technodevotee , yup im still on 8.8.3, I got your latest ver of WMC Multi Tool, thanks for the explanation, I only ran it once and WMC worked so I wont change the MSVidCtl.dll file.
Ditto here for V8.8.3 one of my x64 machines, all others have V8.8.4. Can't recall what precisely i'd previously changed to keep WME running on it however it's fine with KB4517389 installed. Curiously Windows insisted on installing it again the next day for some reason.
I'm curious - Is there a reason you haven't updated that one to 8.8.4? I suspect that you will need to keep on replacing CPFilters.
Pure laziness is the basic reason i guess. I'll update it eventually for sure but while it "ain't broke .....etc."
Sorry for my ignorance... I have a fresh copy of Windows 10 pro (all recent updates 1903) and installed WMC ver13. It installed ok but I dont see windows media center in my programs. Is this just a service pack? and do I need to get the base WMC program from somewhere? Thanks in advance
@imkiwi You could use technodevotee 's tools to 'tune up' V13 (look for the link in his signature such as #9708 a few posts back) or if you're not too game to fiddle around just properly uninstall V13 using Uninstaller.cmd then install V8.8.4 by Kévin Chalet which has all the fixes built-in. You can find a link in his post #9486.

Try looking in Windows Accessories.
@imkiwi Both installers put a shortcut on the desktop and in Windows Accessories. V8.8.4 has the workarounds for most issues built in but it doesn't work for *everyone*. V13 has add-ons that can be run to workaround problems as they are encountered.
I was unable to find a version of 8.8.4 32bit and V13 didn't create any shortcut on desk top or anything under windows accessories Does anyone have a step by step for installing WMC on fresh copy of Windows 10 1903?
The only version of WMC that will install on 32bit Windows 10 after 1803 is the one I created and named V13. I have installed it a dozen or so times and it always creates a shortcut on the Desktop and in Windows accessories and I haven't had anyone else tell me that they don't have any shortcuts. There is no need for a step by step guide. You run Installer.cmd and use one of the shortcuts to launch it. If there are no shortcuts then I reckon there must be something wrong with your Windows installation or where you put the installer (path is too long). Try running c:\windows\ehome\ehshell.exe and if that works, create a shortcut to it by right clicking the file and choosing send to, desktop (Create Shortcut).
Thank you so much!! I followed the path above and there it was. Ran the install and whola! I have WMC back. Yay!
Anyone have any ideas on how to change the ip address that WMC sees a HDHomerun? I have tried uninstalling the HDHomerun software, done all the tricks on the SiliconDust site and rerun the WMC setup wizard with nothing working. If I run c:\windows\ehome\ehprivjob.exe /OCURDiscovery in an admin cmd prompt it shows Ignoring unknown device 'HDHomeRun Prime Tuner 1321C184-1' Ignoring unknown device 'HDHomeRun Prime Tuner 1321C184-0' Ignoring unknown device 'HDHomeRun Prime Tuner 1321C184-2' This is on a laptop that was working up until I had to replace my router. It also occured on my PC but installing an older version of the HDHomerun software fixed it. On the laptop doing the same thing did not work. WMC is working fine on my PC with the same HDHomerun on the same network. Both are using the same HDHomerun software version on Windows ver 1511 with WMC ver. 8 I am wondering if anyone knows the registry entries to change to make windows look for the correct IP.
Well I found it after fumbling through the registry for a while. For anyone else who might be looking for this, here's where I found it: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Media Center\Service\ehPrivJob\LocalPbdaSWTunerDevices\ You will find your tuners listed there and can change the key for the IP address to the new one.
Good Evening, How can I get Play REady to Update? I am using 8.8.4. Thanks and sorry if that has already been answered before.
