I have Windows 10 & Essentials 2012.

Media Player and Windows Movie Maker have always played mpeg videos.  Last week it stopped.

The screen says Windows Media player has stopped working.  A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.  

Neither program seems to be effected by other files types.

I have tried repairing Windows Essentials and have noticed no help.
