Every Microsoft software outside of their OS is useless and is replaced by superior 3rd party alternatives. Does the new player support the display of subtitles? I do use something else.
MPC-HC in fact. Though I admit, VLC is useful, too. That says it all. Avoid this garbage scam at all cost. Use every blocker program available. Hosts files autoruns too, the list goes on and on.

When we tried installing the app in the stable channel of the operating system, it didn't work. That seems to have changed quietly, according to a user on reddit.
