AxWindowsMediaPlayer - black screen

I'm building a desktop app in c# that uses AxWindowsMediaPlayer and is working nice, but when i kill explorer.exe (because i'm trying simulate kiosk mode on windows 10 home) the AxWindowsMediaPlayer control doesn't play, only shows a black screen.

What can i do to put it work? Or any alternative for AxWindowsMediaPlayer?

I just need something to simulate screen saver; slide show to pictures and sometimes play some videos with no play/pause/stop... controls.

Thank you

Adding this line resolved the issue.

Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory);

Thank you.

I would consider using DirectX rather than the WMP control, you'll have more control and probably less overhead.
