While we may not see trippy visualizations in this reboot of Media Player at first, it’s an encouraging start by Microsoft to focus on the apps that users want to see tailor-made for Windows 11. This is where Windows Media Player can help with these plights.
Some users just want to use the apps that are pre-installed on their PC without having to look for any alternatives. Windows Media Player has a pull of nostalgia to it, whether that’s from the skins or visualizations, but just its name gives the app the right connotations for users who just want to play some music as soon as their PC has upgraded to Windows 11. However, with Media Player seemingly about to debut in Windows 11, it could be a signal that Microsoft wants the app to see a return for its users. Microsoft themselves added to this by introducing a Movies & TV app in Windows 8 that also gave you the ability to buy content from the Windows Store, but this has also seen fewer updates in recent years.
With the breadth of media players that’s been available to download, Windows Media Player was left by the wayside. Player both now provide DirectX 11 3D accelerated graphics on Windows 10. In the years since the app would get updated with a new look or new features from time to time, but in 2009 the 12th version was released, and in turn abandoned. Fusion 12 Player and Fusion 12 Pro are the best way to run Windows on the Mac.
