Gabriel Ole, a veteran of the Microsoft team with 16 years of experience, the leader of the Microsoft Operating Systems Group of the Data and Fundamentals Team, posted a screenshot of the player Media Player on his twitter
It shows that the player is capable of playing FLAC format files - a lossless audio storage format, loved by all audiophiles of the world. Unfortunately, this is not the most common format yet, but if it is supported in the new version of the OS, this situation will change for the better. This is an open format, the first release of which took place already in 2001, it supports the storage of metadata, album covers and other information.

Congrats @neowinfeed for spotting MKV playback in 9860. I can now support it: Win10 supports MKV codec out of the box.
