How To Install Windows Media Player On Windows 11 [Tutorial]

Windows Media Player 12 (WMP) is included in Windows 11 by default. Windows Media Player allows you to play audio and video files on your local machine and on the Internet. You can also organize your digital media collection, sync digital media files to a portable device, shop online for digital media content, and more with Windows Media Player.

Windows Media Player is not the default app by default in Windows 11 though. The Groove Music app is the default music player. The Movies & TV app is the default video player. The Photos app is the the default photo viewer.

If you like, you can turn on or off the Windows Media Player feature to no longer have it available for all users on the PC. Turning off Windows Media Player will not uninstall it, or save any hard drive space.

However, it’s yet not clear if it’s a bug with the update or Microsoft is indeed trying to retire the media player now the Windows 11 has a the Groove Music and Movies & TV apps.

Windows Media Player has been around in various forms for decades. While it used to be the default Windows media player, that's changed for Windows 11. You now need to install Windows Media Player before it's available; the method you use will depend on your version of Windows 11.
