Do you need it?

If no, then do:
1. Go to Start.
2. Control Panel.
3. Programs and Features
4. In the blue section to the left click "Turn Windows features on or off"
5. Click the plus symbol beside media features and uncheck Windows Media Player.
6. A prompt will pop up, click yes.
7. Click OK and wait for the next prompt and click restart now.
If (for some reasons) yes, then try:
Click 'Start' >Type Services in the search box
Click 'Services' with the gear icon
On the left, find the service for (Windows Media Player)
Double-click the service, and change the startup type from Automatic to Manual.

The problem of the Windows Media Player was solved, however, the GR keeps minimizing, of this time, opens the search window and opens a window of error with the followingin formation:

Translation of the attached messages:
Windows can not open this file:

File: shell32.dll

Windows needs to know what program should open the file it can automatically search for the program online or you can select it from a list of programs installed on your computer.

What you want to do?

- Use the web service to find the correct program

- Select a program from a list of installed programs
You are triyng to open a file of the type 'Extent of application' (.dll)

These files are used by the operating system and various other programs. Edit them or modify them can denificar the system.

If you still want to open the file, click Open With. Otherwise, click Cancel.

I split the topic, if you have problem dot directly related to the original thread, create a new one please.

Are you using the latest version of game? Press F1 on the main menu, the version is displayed in top right.
It sound very strange, are you using controller? Are you pressing Alt key at any point? And does it happen always?
