Hello community! Perhaps the pros around here can enlighten me or other readers. TIA!
On my Windows 10 PC with OS version 1709 the player 12 or 14 don't run. Same for Workstation, of course. They start, stay in the background as task, consume ~1/4 of CPU power and nothing else. So I thought, may be the player requires some Windows services to run which may be deactivated, because there are many services on Windows 10 you don't need. One thing in the requirements of a software to run is mostly forgotten by the programmers: the services. I could not find any information if the player needs - perhaps - Hyper V.
I know, many would probably ask "if there are any antivirus tools running, try again with them turned off", but in my case (company PC) there is an antivirus tool from McAfee running and neither I'm allowed to
Is any Windows service required to run the player? If so, which one(s)?
Are there known problems/issues like mine with Windows 10 1709?
Can antivirus tools prevent the player from running and if so, why? (I mean, such tools are very common, so you a) don't turn them off and b) they are nothing unusual)
If we download the player it says "for 64-bit version of Windows", but installs in \Programs (x86) and runs in 32 bit - why?
