WMP Classic comes as part of the CCCP codec pack, although they have changed the name to Media Player Classic; however having checked, there is no m2u creation option, at least not in recent versions. There are plenty of free m3u creation tools you could try, just search google.

its bugging me now as well. Do you have any other player software you could use to create the m3u files and load them into the player? I am wondering if it is a WMP bug that has reared its head. I am trying to remember what I used to use, I know it wasnt WMP, or WMPClassic.

It would be safer to run MWB in Safe Mode, as that stops a lot of viri from loading masking programs that help them hide from AV scans.

First of all, scan it with another anti virus program like Malwarebytes, or an online scanning service; just to be safe. It is not unknown for a virus to make its way through the supply chain and onto otherwise trusted servers; GitHub was spewing malware a year or so ago, and Linux repository...

It is so they can spam you with security warnings whenever you log in with anything other than Chrome - which they claim is the only secure browser.

OK, have you confirmed it is an m3u file being created, there are at least two different types of playlist file used by various mp3 players.

Check the bit rate limits for the player and the bitrates of the mp3 files you are trying to load; I forgot this myself and had hours of frustration a few years ago; the files have to be in the range the player supports, if they are too high or too low, it wont recognise them. I seem to...

Dont JBL give you a manual any longer??

"WiFi Ready" usually means it will work with an optional WiFi dongle; however often this will be a proprietary dongle you have to buy from Sony; I had a friend in the same situation; in the end he hard wired the TV to his router as the Sony dongle was no longer available. You havent given the...

Just delete or disable its entry in the boot file, so it doesnt run. I dont ever remember it setting itself as default; I suspect you clicked an "OK" at some point without reading it; same way so many people accidentally download and set Chrome as default browser.

I can see 2 possibilities, a failed Win10 update, or a virus. I err towards failed Winupdate, try reinstalling the motherboard chipset drivers and see what happens.

The most common cause is a stuck key, either from whacking it too hard, or something sticky getting underneath it. Run one finger across each row to see if a key is lower than the rest. Push any such key gently and move slightly side to side to see if it will unstick. If it has just wedged...

RTFM to find out how to pair it with the TV.

One particular Win7 update can take up to 12 HOURS for the Winupdate service to download and install. This is MicroGit trying to wean people off of Win7, because it never used to take that long. It has been talking that long since the Win10 borg attempts started.
