It is no secret that we can restore Windows Media Center back to Windows 10.
The fact had been posted in all websites, including one from Windows Central since like 2015.
I used to have WMC restored in my Windows 10 until one of those updates removed it and I failed to re-install. So, I just let it go. I didn't really need it anyway.
Today I decided to restore WMC again.
It works, and to my surprise I also have the Windows DVD Player....... free.
I did not know that before.
So, now I can play DVDs without using a 3rd party media player such as VLC.

P.S. It applies to both the RTM and the Insiders versions.
*** update : just tried playing some retail Musical DVDs ( ABBA Super Troupers ). WMC opened and played. Nice.
