Windows N was forced from EU commission several years ago, because Microsoft misused it's market position. Windows 10 N is an operating system version without Media Player and media features. N stands for no media features. A similar Windows 10 KN variant has been released for Korea. <\/p>\n<h3>What if I 've installed Windows N and what's a Media Feature Pack?<\/h3>\n<p>If Windows 10 N is installed, no media features are available. There is no Windows Media Player, but you are able to use VLC-Player for media play back. But without media features, Windows 10 N can't support: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apps with media play back features (Groove Music, Video app etc.) won't work\n<li>Connecting smartphones, cameras and mobile devices via USB cable fails, because there is no support for media transfer using Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) and Media Transfer Protocol (MTP).&nbsp;\n<li>Edge browser can't display PDF documents, because there is not support for that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4039813\/media-feature-pack-for-\" target=\"_blank\">This Microsoft site<\/a> list more restrictions for Windows 10 N. But it's easy to fix that: Just install the Media Feature Pack, and the missing features will be added. <\/p>\n<h2>Where to obtain the Media Feature Pack?<\/h2>\n<p>Microsoft offers the Media Feature Pack for Windows N for free download. The problem: Each Windows build need it's customized Media Feature Pack and it's sometimes hard to find the right download address. Microsoft has created the <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/3145500\/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions\" target=\"_blank\">Media Feature Pack list for Windows N editions<\/a> page linking all Media Feature Packs for supported Windows versions (but at writing this text, the new version hasn't been linked).  <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Media Feature Pack Download\" alt=\"Media Feature Pack Download\" src=\"https:\/\/i.imgur.com\/tpfcRfN.jpg\" width=\"472\" height=\"227\"> <\/p>\n<p>Detailed information about the Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 N version 1803 including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/software-download\/mediafeaturepack\" target=\"_blank\">download links<\/a> can be found on the Microsoft page <a href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-us\/help\/4057437\/media-feature-pack-for-windows-10-n-april-2018\" target=\"_blank\">KB4057437<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Similar articles:<\/strong><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/04\/27\/media-feature-pack-for-windows-10-n-version-1703\/\">Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 N Version 1703<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/08\/30\/windows-10-has-an-mtp-problem-with-android-devices\/\">Windows 10 has an MTP problem with Android devices<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/10\/21\/media-feature-pack-for-windows-10-n-version-1709\/\">Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 N Version 1709<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2017\/12\/27\/windows-10-icloud-install-media-feature-pack-is-missing\/\">Windows 10: iCloud install Media Feature Pack is missing<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[German]This time it went pretty fast &#8211; Microsoft has made the Media Feature Pack for Windows 10 N April Update (version 1803) available for download on its servers.
