Windows 10 update KB4046355 removes Windows media Player from your operating system. The update has been released for Insiders, with Windows 10 build 1709, but it does not affect all Appliances running the beta version of the upcoming Fall Creators Update of Windows 10.
Note: At the moment there is no page that mentions details about this one information.
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.
