Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You install Internet Explorer 10 on a Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1)-based computer.

  • You configure the AutoPlay feature so that Windows automatically uses Windows Media Player to play audio CDs.

  • You insert an audio CD into the CD-ROM device, and then Windows Media Player starts.

In this scenario, Windows Media Player freezes.

Cause

This issue occurs because Windows Media Player runs in Windows 7 compatibility mode after Internet Explorer 10 is installed.

    Version

    Product

    Milestone

    Service branch

    6.1.760
    1.17xxx

    Windows 7

    SP1

  • GDR service branches contain only those fixes that are widely released to address widespread, critical issues. LDR service branches contain hotfixes in addition to widely released fixes.

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are critical to maintaining the state of the updated component. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
