I'd like to apologize if it seems very run-on and disorganized, tech issues that I can't find any working solutions for really make my anxiety spike to the roof. Ideally, I'd love to fix this issue, but just confirmation that it won't cause any catostrophic issues should I just move on to using the original Windows Media Player would help calm my heart.– KnightCommented Nov 21, 2022 at 11:02

Try to test Windows integrity by running Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and then sfc /scannow.– harrymcCommented Nov 21, 2022 at 12:14

Ran it overnight @harrymc! First SFC scan said that it detected corrupted files, and successfully repaired them. I ran the DISM Image cleanup afterwards, then did a second SFC scan and it said there were no integrity issues. Fingers crossed that this fixes it? Also, should I attach the log from the scan that found the corrupted files to the body of my original post?– KnightCommented Nov 21, 2022 at 16:32

Keep the log, but no point in examining it for the moment. If the problem comes back, the next step is to Do a Repair Install, which is the same as a major Windows upgrade and keeps all apps and data.– harrymcCommented Nov 21, 2022 at 18:40

Will keep that in mind, hopefully the issue did get fixed with that. I know the repair keeps all your stuff, unlike a reinstall, but it's still quite nerve-wracking. Thanks again for all the help so far!– KnightCommented Nov 21, 2022 at 19:40

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
