Thanks, Moonlight, I ust came back to delete this question - and there was you.



I tried some links from Microsoft knoweldge base to lead me to the version for Windows 10 N built 1709, and it did not work. A couple of downloads from other sites were just installers they wnated to pout on my system - and in such cases my paranoia-control and digital combat operation centre know only one colour: pulsating blood-red. And some other thigns I tried did not work, too.


I finally got it insbtalled via ther App centre i8n W 10. Point is, I am not that familiar with W10, since I neve rhave anything installed via the app centre, I do not use thios platform for anything, just gaming (and now video editiing). I also had to loosen some settings I had set and deactivate a windows update blocker and had to defione my connection as unmetered again, to gewt the download started. I then had to interrupt manually twice and reboot as often, since the download and the HD LED started to freeze. After reboot, it continued where it had stopped before. After three rounds of cursing and high blood pressure rates, it finally was done. What a damn monumental relief. I hate Windows 10 and Microsoft'S damn business policy.



So thanks for your reply, Moonlight. We missed each other by minutes only.



For those beign interested, Windows 10 N and KN are versions that do not have the media suite pre-sinatalled with Windows, due to demands by the European commission that it shall no longer be inbcluded in preinstalled Windows. Thats why I thought it would work with mine after my Media player went amiss. Earlier this year, the Media player was offiocially retired by Microsoft, it was even deleted by some KB-update on many systems, to force users onto a replacement software by microsoft that it saw users not spending the demanded amount of love for it. It seems that is what happened to me. Without the Vidoe editor installaito today I would not have even noticed that it was gone, sicne I use this rig not for anything beyond playing.
