| It's Back folks! Windows Media Center in action on the Windows 10. |
Windows Media Center is an entertainment suite that has been available in all the previous Windows versions since the launch of Windows XP. While it was no longer a free feature and required a separate purchase in Windows 8.
Although fans of the Media Center app continue to regret the loss of functionality, Microsoft has offered a free DVD player as a consolation for these die-hard fans. However, many Windows 10 users were still upset about the fact that the Windows Media Center (WMC) was completely discontinued in the latest OS. Nevertheless, you no longer have to compromise on this feature.
As it turns out that Windows Media Center can run on Windows 10 after all. Some users on the MDL forums have apparently patched Windows Media Center to run on Microsoft’s latest operating system.
