While Microsoft has introduced a new media player app dubbed Movies & TV with Windows 10, it still includes the age old Windows Media Player. It’s a wise move, considering there are a number of people who still use the Windows Media Player for its simplicity. While Windows Media Player is great when it comes to handling simple media playing tasks, chances are, you are here because you haven’t been able to add external subtitles to videos in the application.
- When the application opens, go to the tabs of different video file types and check the option that says “disable Media Foundation for MP4/AVI/MKV etc..). Also, head to the “Swap” tab and check “disable Windows Media Foundation“.
