Как скачать установщик Media Feature Pack и почему он не устанавливается
Большинство пользователей, столкнувшись с ошибками и необходимостью установки мультимедийных компонентов Media Feature Pack быстро находят необходимые установщики на стороннем сайте или на официальном сайте Майкрософт. Скачать Media Feature Pack можно здесь (не загружайте, пока не прочитаете дальше):
- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack — Media Feature Pack для Windows 10
- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40744 — для Windows 8.1
- https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546 — для Windows 7
Однако, в большинстве случаев Media Feature Pack не устанавливается на компьютер, а при установке вы получите сообщение о том, что «Обновление неприменимо к вашему компьютеру» или ошибку Автономного установщика обновлений «Установщик обнаружил ошибку 0x80096002» (возможны и другие коды ошибки, например 0x80004005).
Дело в том, что эти установщики предназначены только для редакций Windows N и KN (а у нас мало у кого есть такая система). На обычных же Домашней, Профессиональной или Корпоративной версии Windows 10, 8.1 и Windows 7 Media Feature Pack встроен, просто отключен. И его можно включить без загрузки каких-либо дополнительных файлов.
Как включить Media Feature Pack в Windows 10, 8.1 и Windows 7
Если какая-то программа или игра требует установить Media Feature Pack в обычной редакции Windows, это почти всегда означает, что у вас отключены Мультимедиа компоненты и (или) Проигрыватель Windows Media.
Чтобы включить их, проделайте следующие простые шаги:
- Откройте панель управления (во всех версиях Windows это можно сделать через поиск, или нажав клавиши Win+R, введя control и нажав Enter).
- Откройте пункт «Программы и компоненты».
- Слева выберите пункт «Включение или отключение компонентов Windows».
- Включите «Компоненты для работы с мультимедиа» и «Проигрыватель Windows Media».
- Нажмите кнопку «Ок» и дождитесь завершения установки компонентов.
После этого Media Feature Pack будет установлен на вашем компьютере или ноутбуке и GTA 5, iCloud, другая игра или программа больше его не потребуют.

При установке игр, таких как GTA 5, Dota 2 и других, а также при запуске штатных приложений Windows таких, как OneDrive, Windows Media Player пользователь персонального компьютера может столкнуться с сообщением, в котором указано, что нужно скачать Media Feature Pack. Также на необходимость инсталляции этого компонента указывают и ошибки 0x80096002 и 0x80004005, которые могут возникать при открытии классических приложений системы.
Что такое Media Feature Pack?
Media Feature Pack – это компонент операционной системы Microsoft, который предназначен для работы мультимедийных программ и игр. Иными словами, этот компонент является посредником между операционной системой Windows и установленными приложениями. Если Windows Media Feature Pack отсутствует на компьютере, то система выдаст уведомление о необходимости его инсталляции, а программа, соответственно, не запуститься.
В таких операционных системах, как Windows 10 N и Windows KN этот компонент включен (однако мало у кого они инсталлированы). Для других сборок он загружается посредством установки таких пакетов обновления, как KB4039813 (для версии 1709) и KB4057437 (версия 1803). Для тех, кто использует другую версию операционной системы, разработчики Microsoft рекомендуют установить KB3145500, предварительно создав точку восстановления.
ВАЖНО! В Windows 7 и 8 компонент Windows Media Feature Pack уже установлен, однако выключен.
Как скачать и установить Media Feature Pack?
Для начала обозначим, что в Windows 7 и 8 этот компонент выключен. Поэтому устанавливать его не нужно.
Достаточно выполнить следующее:
- Переходим в раздел «Установка и удаление программ». В меню слева выбираем «Включение и отключение компонентов Windows».
- Откроется небольшое окно. Выбираем «Компоненты для работы с мультимедиа».
- Ставим отметку возле пункта «Проигрыватель Windows Media» и жмем «ОК».
- Точно так же включить данный компонент можно и в Windows 10.
Отдельно скачать Media Feature Pack можно по ссылкам из официального сайта Microsoft.
- Для Windows 10 – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/mediafeaturepack;
- Для Windows 8.1 – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=40744;
- Для Windows 7 – https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=16546.
Однако нужно отметить, что при инсталляции файла Media Feature Pack появляется сообщение о том, что «Обновление неприменимо к вашему компьютеру». Поэтому устанавливать нужно не отдельный файл, а пакет обновлений, который указан выше. Только после его инсталляции можно включить Media Feature Pack в компонентах Windows и избавиться от ошибки с запуском программ и игр.
Are you from Europe or Korea? By default, Windows 10 will come without Windows Media Player and other media capabilities in these regions. These capabilities include playing and recording video and audio, creating audio CDs and video DVDs and manage playlists and music libraries. This is due to the laws of Europe and Korea. They do not permit the multimedia application to be pre-installed so that the competitors have a fair chance of competing against Microsoft’s media center and player. We have already explained the difference between Windows Editions including N and KN editions.
But these users can always install Windows Media Player and other multimedia functions if they don’t want to use third-party multimedia applications. Microsoft provides Media Feature Pack for every version of Windows 10 including the latest 1803 version. Media Feature Pack is the safest option for multimedia management as it’s provided by Microsoft and it can be fully integrated into Windows.
Although there is no big difference between normal Windows 10 and Windows 10 N/KN editions there are a few features that get disabled because they require Windows Media components to be installed to function properly. Microsoft has left these components non-functional in N/KN editions. If you install Media Feature Pack, these non-functional features will also start working. Some of the features that require WMP components include the following:
- OneDrive and Photos app can’t play videos without the media player.
- HomeGroup does not have streaming features in the absence of Windows Media Center and Player.
- Sound Recorder is limited to recording in WAV format only.
- Cortana speech interaction doesn’t work.
- Wireless display feature also gets disabled.
- PDF viewing in Edge browser stops working.
All these features will be enabled once Windows Media components are installed.
If we go to the Media Feature Pack download page from Microsoft, it only lists the download links for supported Windows versions. If you have an older version of Windows 10, you can use the download links below to download the feature pack:
