    The Samsung NVMe PM9C1a 1024GB SSD does not use a Phison NAND controller. Instead, it uses Samsung's in-house developed Piccolo (S4LY022) 6-Core 4 Channel Controller. The PM9C1a utilizes a controller built using Samsung's 5-nanometer process and seventh-generation V-NAND technology. 🤔

It's strange that my WMP was updated via MS Store, yet the latest version isn't available via the adguard.net method. 🤨

@Wynona:

Do this.

  1. Open this link. Microsoft Store - Generation Project (v1.2.3) [by @rgadguard & mkuba50]
  2. Copy this and paste it there in the search bar on that link: https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/windows-media-player/9WZDNCRFJ3PT?hl=en-us&gl=us
    Do not try to open this as a web link / URL - you just need to copy it here and paste it there.
  3. At the far right (just before the check mark), change RP to Fast
  4. Click the check mark at the far right.
  5. Use your browser scroll to find 11.2211.36.0:
    View attachment 48827

    You want to find the msixbundle for the version that you're looking for. The BlockMap file is useless, and you can see it is a tiny file, not gonna install anything. Verify for size at the right too.

  6. Click that link for the correct version, download, then run it (sideloading it onto your system).
This method always works, you just have to find the most current version in the list. The search term in step 2 is not version dependent, only application dependent. So that search term will always find the versions of the Media player.

So, when the next version comes out, when someone reports it here, you do all of this again only looking for that new version.

HTH

Using the above method, version 11.2604.9.0 is now available to everyone. :thumbsup:
