The Windows Media Player Update Check is a way of Windows Media Player running a analysis to verify that your Windows XP or Vista machine has the latest version of Windows Media Player on it, it is run on a schedule which by default is every week.

  • Under Automatic Updates you can choose which frequency Windows Media Player will check for updates, it can either be:

  • Once a day
  • Once a Week
  • Once a Month
