Workaround for 0x8004c029 on Desktop copy of Groove on build 14332

While looking for workarounds for the aforementioned error on my Lumia 950XL, I noticed that the Desktop Feedback Hub had an entry that had this workaround to fix the error on desktop/laptop/tablets that are running Windows 10 Insider Build 14332:

1. Make sure that the Groove App is closed on the device where you want to implement this workaround.
2. From a PowerShell console, run the following command:

ren $env:LOCALAPPDATA\packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\PlayReady $env:LOCALAPPDATA\packages\Microsoft.ZuneMusic_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\PlayReady_OLD

With this done, you can open Groove on your desktop/laptop/tablet and play your Music Pass/DRM-protected music without further issue.

Excellent - Glad to share the workaround for folks to take advantage of it. I'm sure that MS will fix the problem, long-term. It's a shame that we can't run PowerShell on our phones, though.. :winktongue:

I know.. I'm in the same boat. If only those folders weren't hidden from the user on the phones. We'd be OK then!
