Advanced Codecs is an audio and video codec package for Windows 7, 8 and 10. The installer will automatically remove most other popular codec releases from your computer before installing this concise yet comprehensive package. You won't need to make any adjustments or tweaks to enjoy your media content immediately. Windows Media Player and Media Center will instantly recognize all your files as playable. NOTE! Be very careful with codec packs! They might cause video/audio playback problems if you install all codecs.

For those complaining *here about issue they could only solve by reinstalling Windows.
Had you brought the issue to *MY forum, I'd have dealt with it immediately.
There would not have been a need to reinstall Windows.
All of the issues reported here, no longer exist.
Extract from current changelog:
- Fix broken Movies & TV App and MS Store errors
- Fix re-installation of removed Windows Apps
In the future, if you find a showstopper with any Application, bring it to the author for a solution.

„Would give it zero out of zero if I could! Install this if you want to destroy your PC environment and cause massive conflicts. Good luck in uninstalling it too!“
Can only confirm this!!! DON'T USE IT! NOT EVEN THE PORTABLE VERSION!! JUST DON'T USE IT!!!
Guess I have to reinstall Windows because of this B***S***! Massive permission conflicts of MS-Store Apps, so "Movies & TV" and "MS Photos" or any other MS-Store App can't play any Videos anymore!!!
