I was able to get the latest update and it appeared to install without any issues. However, whether it's the update or something else, my Windows Media Player no longer continues to show visualizations. It will do so for the first song in an playlist but, the screen goes blank afterward. I have already uninstalled it, rebooted, re-activated/installed it and the issue continues. This is one feature of the player I've always enjoyed since being able to hear again.
I'd highly recommend taking the time getting winamp and using milkdrop (included with) if you like the visualizations.
