Install media features
Question
How do I install the Media Feature Pack?
Answer
If Windows Media Player (Legacy) was removed during setup or debloating, some apps can report missing Media Features. It can be reinstalled reasonably easily. Scroll to see solutions.
Alternatively, you might be on an N edition of Windows. We recommend avoiding N editions when possible; debloating already covers most of the removal. You can check in winver.exe.
Reinstalling the Media Pack
Open Settings, and navigate from System → Optional features → View features (or Add an optional feature).
Search for Windows Media and check Windows Media Player Legacy (App).
- If you're on an N edition of Windows, search for Media Feature Pack instead.
Click Next, then Add.
Wait for it to install.
