I've Got An Older Version 16.0.3.51 Still Installed....

... I use it only occasionally and after starting it up for your question, there was a warning message that said the "database" could be corrupted. It also allowed for a repair of the database, which I allowed it to do. After that, it opened and played some of my saved playlists just fine.

So maybe the link below might help the system repair from a previous version of the database.

Hope this helps.

I'm not a Real Player user.

But there are complaints about latest and it seems to revolve around the video drivers and something about Chrome. As to Chrome, Microsoft has issued notices about a fix in the works and for drivers you look at your laptop maker for updates. In desktops you check with your GPU maker.

Here I installed a newer Nvidia driver to prepare for the new W10 update.
