Normally, a computer without WMC won't have the codecs to play WTV files; however, VLC can play them. So, unless you absolutely want the 10-Foot UI, you still have a way if you really want to upgrade.I have one comp I wouldn't mind upgraded to 10 that I use WMC to view WMC recorded files from so would be interested in trying if I hear good things.
WTV files will play if they are H264 encoded OOTB. MPEG2 will require a codec.Normally, a computer without WMC won't have the codecs to play WTV files; however, VLC can play them. So, unless you absolutely want the 10-Foot UI, you still have a way if you really want to upgrade.
hence my interest in if this trick getting wmc installed on win10 works.Normally, a computer without WMC won't have the codecs to play WTV files; however, VLC can play them. So, unless you absolutely want the 10-Foot UI, you still have a way if you really want to upgrade.
I hope that is referring to WMC and not w10...waite...if that means wmc does that mean guide wont update also?According to MS a Windows 10 version with WMC will appear to be illegally installed software and will fail to update in the future.
If MS blocks updates to 10 if they detect WMC installed then that could be a way to stop Windows Update from running unless you want it to. Install WMC to block updating, temporarily remove it to update.This doesn't seem much different from those that installed WMC in one of the Windows 10 beta releases. It would appear that they simply created an installer package to make the process easier.
According to MS a Windows 10 version with WMC will appear to be illegally installed software and will fail to update in the future. Whether or not that claim has any teeth, I have no idea. For anyone who does this install let us know if that is the case.
I like it!If MS blocks updates to 10 if they detect WMC installed then that could be a way to stop Windows Update from running unless you want it to. Install WMC to block updating, temporarily remove it to update.

If you do this in a VM, use networked tuners like the HDhomerun. Hardware tuners can be a problem in a VM.From what I've read, W10 won't update. No idea if WMC will update.
If you want to run WMC in Win 10 the best way is probably to do it in a VM running Win 7. It requires some workarounds but can be done.
HeheIf MS blocks updates to 10 if they detect WMC installed then that could be a way to stop Windows Update from running unless you want it to. Install WMC to block updating, temporarily remove it to update.
