Windows 11's new media player now available on Windows 10

Windows 10 is getting a new media player that will replace Groove Music! In the Release Preview Channel of the Windows Insider Program, Microsoft quietly released an updated version of Groove Music, replacing the traditional music player with a new application called "Windows Media Player".
Media Player for Windows 11 is slowly rolling out to Windows 10 Insiders who sign up for the Release Preview channel. It's reminiscent of the original Windows Media Player, but it uses WinUI 3.0 and Microsoft's Fluent Design system. While Windows 10 doesn’t have rounded corners, this new media player will still remind you of Windows 11’s design.
The new media player debuted in the 2021 Windows Insider Program stream and was later released to Windows 11 users. Microsoft had been silent on the launch of Windows 10 until today when it released an update to the Preview Channel that finally brings the app to the older operating system.

Sure, there are so many free media players for Windows, but Microsoft isn’t really late to the party . While we have better options like VLC and MPV (our personal favorite), the new Windows Media Player is still a great option for new users.
How to get the new Windows Media Player on Windows 10
You will find the new app as an update in the Microsoft Store. To get the player, go to Microsoft Store > Library and check for updates. The update will automatically replace the existing Groove Music app and migrate your playlists to the new app.
This new media player comes in dark and light modes, and it also respects Windows 10 accent colors. By default, it uses a black and orange or white and orange color scheme.

The design of Media Player is very simple and the effect is very good. Unlike Groove Music, Media Player can play both audio and video files. As with the Movies and TV apps, HDR is supported here, so if you have new modern movies in this specific file format, you can use the new player to play the media.
The current version of Windows Media Player is 11.2209.30.0, with Windows 10 Build 19042 designated as the minimum version. If you can't wait for the update to arrive on your system, you can download the app's offline bundle and run the .msixbundle.
