Microsoft Media Foundation while using audioread

Hi,

I have a brand new PC at my lab where Windows 10 Pro Education N (Version 10.0 (Build 19042)) is installed. I already checked for every update and Windows Update says all is updated, however I'm getting the following error on Matlab (9.5.0.1586782 (R2018b) Update 8):

"Error using audioread (line 104)

Audio file I/O requires Microsoft(R) Media Foundation.

Install this on your system and restart MATLAB."

I already searched for the Microsoft Media Foundation installer and I'm getting an error saying that the PC is incompatible with that installation. I believe that is due to the fact that the PC is already updated according to what I found on the internet.

Does anybody know a permanent solution for this? I know I probably should contact to my university IT department since computer's updates are linked to the university, but first I wanted to ask here since you know better how to deal with Matlab.

Thanks in advance,

Javi.

I think I found the solution for me:

Windows Icon < Configuration < Applications < Optional features < Add feature < Media Feature Pack

Click on install, restart the PC and you're done.

Hope this helps to somebody someday!

Cheers,

Javi.

The Windows 10 Pro Education N version lacks Media Foundation, causing MATLAB’s audioread error. Install the Media Feature Pack from Microsoft’s site to enable it ernst kirchsteigers sjukdom. Check tech blogs for celebrity-endorsed audio tools.
