Windows 10 no longer includes Windows Media Center as the company is focusing on Xbox One as the central entertainment hub of the house. Although, the media hub wasn’t extremely popular, it still have a number of fans, and if you’re one of them, users at the MDL forums crafted a package to install Windows Media Center in the latest release of Windows 10, including the public and Insider preview. This project has been in the works for a few weeks now, and Windows Blog Italia published a guide that allows you to install the entertainment software in your computer. If you want to try it in your computer simply follow the steps below:
Bring back Windows Media Center to Windows 10
Now, you have completed the installation of Windows Media Center in Windows 10. If you can’t find the app, go to Start > All apps > Windows Accessories > Windows Media Center. From here, you can also right-click the app and pin it to the Start menu.
If you wan’t to remove it, simply go back to the folder with the installation files, right-click Uninstaller.cmd, run it as an administrator, and reboot your computer. During the installation process that I have tried everything seems to be working well, but my computer configuration doesn’t allow me to see if I can play DVDs or setup the TV functionality. These are important features, but remember that Microsoft removed the codecs to play DVDs in Windows 10 to reduce licensing costs and the TV setup hasn’t change in years, so the experience might be different.
