How to disable artist artwork display in Windows 10 Media Player

The artist pictures that pop up in the middle of the media player are really annoying. Does anyone know how to turn them off?

    The "artist pictures" you're referring to are likely the album artwork that appears in the Windows 10/11 Media Player. This feature is called "Groove Music" or "Windows Media Player's Album Art" and is a part of the Windows 10/11 operating system.

    To disable the artist artwork display that pops up in the middle of Windows 10 Media Player (Windows Media Player), you can adjust the settings related to visualizations and artwork display.

    Turn off the Show artist information option in the media player settings.

  • Windows Media Player doesn't typically show artist pictures in the middle of playback. If you're referring to a different media player, please specify.
