If you are a Microsoft Windows 7 user, n do immediately launch Media Player and check if Media Player is displaying information of a particular song viz title, artist, genre, actors, and even cover.

w, this change is applicable to only Windows 7 as far as Windows Media Player is concerned. Users of or older OSes such as Windows 8.1 and Windows 8 would t be affected.

Along with above, even Windows Media Center app would also “hide” essential info such as director, actor, art, and TV guide with respect to multimedia content, from w. This change applies to all of older OSes viz Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1 respectively. Microsoft’s Windows 10 would users would t have to deal with se changes.
