Groove works well as does Media Player and / or VLC.
Do I understand correctly that you don't go online in order to protect your photos and other info? I wonder if you'll ever get hit by an internal Windows error that would have been fixed in an update that you didn't download?
Hopefully you do external backups of your precious data.
Yes, all my data is double backed-up on separate external SSDs ... but it's so much it would take hours to reinstall what I use regularly on the PC, so I just don't let it go online - that's just one safety feature for me personally because I'm not very tech oriented. I use only MSWord and Photoshop on desktop. That's it.
I can remember how much hassle storing film and slides was, always thought Digital was gonna be a snap, comparatively, until years ago, I lost an internal HD (Virus, who knows why), and months of digital work. So, now I back it up on two separate SSD and only open it to transfer what I need for the day to work-station on PC, then disconnect.
Maybe I'm mistaken about Win 10 updates?? Maybe it would fix this Media Player error. But, yes, I do worry about something nasty getting in my internal drives, then coming out to eat my data at its leisure??? HA, not really paranoid, just try to be careful. :)
