One of the biggest drawbacks of Windows Media Player is that it can not load external subtitles. It is an annoying oversight that has not been corrected to date.
And so do most users when they have a movie with external subtitles in their hands, they usually use third-party media player applications like VLC player or KMPlayer etc to load the subtitles.
Although Microsoft has not yet rectified it, it has introduced and incorporated into the Windows 10 a new media player app called “Movies & TV” (Movies & TV for those with an English environment) that supports loading external subtitles.
Below you will find how to upload an external subtitle file to "Movies & TV" for Windows 10.
Download the subtitles for the movie or TV show you want to watch. You can save the file anywhere you want on your hard drive, but make sure it is in SRT format. If you have downloaded the subtitles in a compressed file, be sure to unpack it first.
Run the video in the Movies & TV app and tap it button with the square shape and the two horizontal lines in it next to the Play button. You will see a sub-menu appear titled “Select Subtitle File”. Click on it and it will logically open an explorer window with its disks computer your. Navigate to where you saved the subtitles, highlight the SRT file you are interested in and click the “Open” button. Subtitles will start appearing on your screen immediately.
