KB4046355 update deletes Windows Media Player

The Windows 10 update, KB4046355 removes Windows Media Player from your operating system. The update was released for Insiders, with Windows 10 build 1709, but does not affect all devices running the beta version of the upcoming Fall X Creators Update for Windows 10.

Note: There is currently no page listing details for this update.

At this time, it's not clear whether removing Media Player is by mistake and if it later affects devices that run stable versions of Windows 10.

Changing may not be a big issue for Windows users running other third-party media applications like this VLC Media Player, but it will surely worry many who are accustomed to using the Microsoft application.
