I'll go right to the chase. I'm a teen, I didn't live on this planet for long enough to tell you a cool tale about me uninstalling stuff on my PC.

1. Go into System Settings
2. Go to System > Optional Features, and click on the button "View features"
3. Go to "See available features"
4. Scroll down until you see "Windows Media Player Legacy (App)" and check it
5. Click "Add (1)" and wait for it to install

Done. See, easy. I hope you find this helpful. If you didn't, I don't care.

If you have any questions, just comment on the thread.

Stay in school. School is cool.

Yes, that was sarcasm… before you get too riled up.
The tutorials section that @Brink linked you to will assist with all of those types of issues.

Welcome to ElevenForum.

It's really worth making time to browse through the ElevenForum Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every ElevenForum page [within the Tutorials dropdown list].
- At the foot of the ElevenForum Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- ElevenForum tutorials are also listed at Tutorials and there's a shortcut to that at the top of every page.

You can search ElevenForum using the search box in the top-right corner of all ElevenForum webpages or using Advanced Search - ElevenForum
- You can also search ElevenForum threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:elevenforum.com after your search term. For example,
Taskbar setup site:elevenforum.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of ElevenForum webpages does automatically]

That attitude will get you universally ignored.

That's not the best example of a first post.
