Something fishy with windows ten

I've got a jalopy of a computer I guess, I have an AcerM370G that I just recently updated to Windows 10. And the only problem it's giving me is that the Windows Media Player will only play CDs and not DVDs. I talked to a lady at Microsoft and she said that it should play DVDs (as well as that Windows DVD player) but the WMP just plays CDs.

Thanks a lot Microsoft for messing up what I thought was a smart move. It's a personal computer and I don't have the money to pay for a $34.00 codec. Why can't change be good?

 

And what else is weird? The Windows DVD Player won't  play DVRs. I DVR'ed this show from one of my favorite rock groups and it acts like there's nothing in the drive. Movies like Avengers or my Rock Hall of Fame 25th anniversary I got from Time-Life work fine but I can't watch a Green Day concert I dvr'ed in 2008.

 

I talked to a guy on the phone who said he was going to help me figure out the errors and then he started talking about how he was gonna charge me. I'm broke!

Yup, Microsoft decided not to pay the royalties needed to support video playback from DVDs, saying there are plenety of third party products that provide that functionality.
