My copy of Windows 10 N Professional recently installed the "Creators Update", and after rebooting, Windows Media Player is missing and no videos will play on my web browser.  How can I restore this functionality?
I own a Windows 10 K or N Edition which doesn't include the media player package. My problem is: I want to have preview thumbnails in the explorer for my MP3s and videos.  I had the issue before when I updated to Win10 but there  saved me. Since the Anniversary update they are gone again.   Now I can install the old update but I still don't get the media player nor the preview images.  I tried most of the things Microsoft offers me but they are either not installable or don't work.  Any ideas what might be the correct update package?  Thx!  Ron
If $a,b$ are the roots of the equation $2 x^2 -3 x +1 = 0$, find an equation whose roots are $a/(2b +3)$, $b/(2a +3)$ If $a,b$ are the roots of the equation $2 x^2 -3 x +1 = 0$, find an equation whose roots are $a/(2b +3)$, $b/(2a +3)$   I was practicing quadratic equation questions online but I am stuck on this question.  I found the values of roots $a= 1$, $b= 1/2$ Calculating the optimal number of bins for severely skewed data What can I do to prevent passport stamps being put on blank pages? I'm running low on blank passport pages which are sometimes needed for full page visas such as those issued by Armenia, India, and Vietnam.  When I crossed the border into Turkey the other day I got my visa-on-arrival and stamp, but instead of putting it on a partly used page, which I have many, the guy at customs and immigration put them on a previously blank page. Now I have one fewer!  What can I do to prevent or at least reduce the chances of this happening?  It's worth remembering that there's likely to be a language barrier and it's always best to be ultra-nice to these border officials.  Has anybody heard of any trick such as sticking bit of paper in your passport, either blank, or looking a bit like visas? I have noticed that nobody ever stamps a page that has a remnant of something once stapled in there in Japan. There is a kind of stub that had its major part torn off along a perforation. Might I be able to emulate this somehow or would that even be worse making the blank pages invalid for full page visas due to having holes from staples? I know some things can get very picky when it comes to customs and immigration. My java code has an obvious error. Why does it compile and run? My very simple Greasemonkey script is not running? Is there a shorter alternative for "Enjoy your meal"? The French have "Bon appetit".   In Belgium and the Netherlands we have "Smakelijk".  Is there a short way to wish someone a good meal in English? Importance of PTR records on nameserver IP's? I have not yet experienced any DNS failures due to a missing PTR record, but am wondering:   Is there any added value in having a valid PTR record on a nameserver IP-address? Where to get the full offline-capable installer for macOS Mojave (.1 update)? Let's say I'm running a simple server and have accept()ed a connection from a client.  What is the best way to tell when the client has disconnected? Normally, a client is supposed to send a close command, but what if it disconnects manually or loses network connection altogether? How can the server detect or handle this? How to play DVDs in Ubuntu 16.04? The cast to value type 'Int32' failed because the materialized value is null According to the , when a Shinigami dies, their remaining lifespan is given to the human they saved.     Shinigami who die are reduced to dust, and their remaining lifespan is given to the human they saved.   Since Rem killed L and Watari, she gained their remaining lifespans. Additionally she probably still had some lifespan left. On top of that Misa was already given a lot of lifespan from Gelus (from which she lost 75% again). So does this mean all of this lifespan is transferred to Misa Amane?!  Yet according to her , she dies in 2011 at the age of 26, only seven years after Rem died.  Does this mean that humans are also capable of reducing their own lifespans? Or would the author have made a mistake by letting Misa die as early as she has? I know she lost 75% of her remaining lifespan through the two eye deals, but you'd think that the cumulation of L, Watari and Rem's remaining lifespans would be greater than just one year, wouldn't you? Do you pluralize the singular possessions of / items or people associated with individual members of a plural group? The main doubt one can have about mirrorless is, I think that they do not provide ttl viewfinder. Is this a big disadvantage? In what way is it worst (or best) than classical reflex system?  What are the others advantages and disadvantages of a mirrorless compared to a reflex?  Have mirrorless a chance to replace reflex (at least for non pros) in the future? Is it possible to make the default scene fill two monitors at startup? I know how to set up the default scene by pressing Ctrl+U, but whenever I startup Blender it always fills only one of my screens, even if I set it to fill both before setting the default scene. I end up having to resize it every time I start it up. Is there a way to set this to happen by default? I've got a very large document (which I've broken into "chapters" and such) which I've recently moved a few things around in.  Is there a nice way to get latex to output a list of forward references? (like, things in chapter 5 that reference a result in chapter 10) won't instead of using' wouldn't' is possible? I have asked many questions about "would" both in ELL and ELU. But I still have a question about the use of "would". I have recently asked a question which @Jay also answered. He used "wouldn't" in the following sentences: 1. Here, you wouldn't say, "May I ask you what is your name?" Though we break this rule for questions sometimes 2. Well, someone might say that in informal speech, but you wouldn't write it or use it in formal speech. 3. "May I ask you what's your name?" is awkward; a fluent speaker wouldn't say that.  I had asked  question in ELL and I have received answers for it. But there is one thing that I'm still confused about.  Do the meanings of the sentences above change if we use 'won't' instead of using 'wouldn't' ? can we use 'won't' in the place of 'wouldn't' without changing the meanings of the sentences above? I have two cameras, a 6mpix Panasonic FZ8, and 14mpix Canon A2200.  When I compare shots from two cameras, one of differences I notice is dpi number that camera reports in JPG info:   FZ8 reports dpi=72 A2200 reports dpi=180   What physical meaning can these numbers have? I am at loss for guesses.    I am fairly familiar with notion of dpi in scanning and printing. I can calculate density of pixels on the sensor of the camera. But then, the linear density of pixels on the sensor will be hundreds times larger than number above. So what, if anything, does it mean? I came across a reference to it recently on  and (as of now) it is not explained.  I suspect  might be it, but I don't know for sure. Normal subgroups of infinite symmetric group I recently took a course on group theory, which mentioned that the following proposition is equivalent to the continuum hypothesis: "The infinite symmetric group (i.e. the group of permutations on the set $\mathbb{N}$) has exactly 4 normal subgroups." Does anyone have any references or explanation for this?
