Why windows media player does not play any music files?

Randolph,

 

There should be a kind of error message I guess, when you try to play the music files.

 

Windows media player in windows 8.1 does not have some features installed. I suggest you go to the Microsoft site and download the  package that has this feature, maybe that helps you.

 

WMP package for windows 8.1

 

After downloading, install the package on your computer and try to play your music files again. If the problem is still present will be helpful to let us know any kind of error message that help us to find out the correct solution.

Hope this helps:)

Riley
