On my desktop, Groove music is not finding any of my local music files that I have in the folders I have added (mostly my existing iTunes folders). I've tried resetting the app but still no luck. Grabbing my OneDrive files with no problem.
Any thoughts?

groove music has stopped working and has lost all my music I have my music in other folders and media player. all groove music is posting is finding your music. I have had it on finding your music for one day already and it still has not found my music or started playing
Just to add this hasnt worked for me. This is SUCH a pathetic bug/mistake that it is beyond belief. How can you develop a new program and not test what happens when people add new music into their music folders. Speechless. ( Will add this to the list along with removing the option to pause Onedrive from syncing ). Maybe time to give linux a try.
What fixed it for me was moving the music folder from an external hard drive to an internal one. Don't know why his matters but as the transfer was going music started to populate groove.
Hi Stephen,
Just thought I would let you know that I created a new user profile and it has indeed fixed the problem. I appreciate the help.
Would have liked to have found out the exact cause of the problem, but I guess I will just forget about it now and move on :)
Thanks
Will give it a go when I have some time. Creating a new profile just to get Groove to find music is quite frankly ridiculous though. There's got to be a setting or corrupt file somewhere under the users appdata folder somewhere, or something specific to the user in the registry that is causing this - If it isn't a bug with the software itself.
Also, needing to be an administrator for a music app to show your music? I am an administrator already, but why the hell should you need admin rights for something like that? Madness.
None of that is aimed at you Stephen, in case it comes across that way. Just frustrated with Microsoft's media apps being rather subpar. :)
