Free WMV Player

WMV files can be played by Windows Media Player, which comes bundled with your operating system. However, if it's not working properly or you're just looking for an alternate WMV player with straightforward options and minimal configuration, you can try this tool.

Free WMV Player is an application you can use to play video files with the Windows Media Video (WMV) format, which comes packed with the minimum feature requirements.

It's wrapped in a plain and simple interface made from just one window, where the media player controls are neatly displayed on the bottom side. The same controls can be found by right-clicking to open the context menu.

Video files with the WMV format can be dragged and dropped into the main window or opened from the file browser (press O or right-click to open), which automatically start playing.

It's possible to pause, resume and stop playback, drop multiple videos to create a playlist and easily navigate the tracks, seek a position by moving the slider, adjust or mute the volume, as well as switch to fullscreen mode.

Intuitive keyboard shortcuts are supported for these controls, such as double-clicking or pressing F to enter fullscreen mode, pressing Space for pausing, or pressing PageUp and PageDown for playing the previous or next video.

This is there Free WMV Player's functionality ends. As you can see, it's a pretty straightforward media player with little to offer. It doesn't give you the possibility to create, manage and save playlists, load subtitles, or make video adjustments.

Nevertheless, it comes in handy to users who don't want to complicate themselves with a bunch of unnecessary features just to be able to play video files with the WMV format.

According to our tests, Free WMV Player is light on system resources consumption and doesn't have compatibility issues with the newest Windows version, even if it hasn't received updates for a considerable amount of time.
