Service Pack Windows 7 64 Bit Killed my Media Player?

Service Pack Windows 7 64 bit killed my Windows Media Player on my m11x R1. Anyone else install the update and have similar problems. I tried setting everything back to default settings, but that didn't work. I noticed after install I had to set windows media player as default then Windows Media Player started to download a few things which was strange. Anyone else have this problem.

Try to use restore point

I am tired to tell everyone that Win 7 update SP1 may ruin OS. This is what Microsoft proved. They said to shut off automatic update until they solve this problem.

FURGHHHHHH!!! So microsoft officially stated not to install this update? Or is this just consumers.

As I read in trusted newspaper about a month ago Microsoft officially stated to wait for installing this update until they solve the problem. They suggested to shut off automatic update.

^^Thanks did a system restore and everything works swimmingly. There were so many problems it is not even funny that started popping up. Camera stopped working, everything would crash randomly, media player wouldnt work, vlc wouldnt work etc... Surprised they would release a service pack that sucks so bad.

Good. If you so want SP1 you should make clean Windows install with built-in SP1.

Weird, I installed SP1 for Windows 7 Home Premium last week on my R1 and I have not had any problems...(knock on wood) I will go home and scrutinize my laptop with an electron microscope. Ok, maybe not that much but I'll definitely see if something's wrong with WMP. I was just watching by digital copy of Tron Legacy last time I used it. No problems there.

MANY people installed this update without a problem. However I saw 3 or 4 threads or posts about different problems (not some exact problem everywhere) after SP1 update. It just can become unstable or BSOD. Maybe it is not so big percentage but in the world there were enough complaints so Microsoft took a note. And everyone also should not be surprised if this happens.

@ebondefender I believe you shouldn't worry if it looks OK.
