I've gotten my WMC in a bad state. After trying various free tools to enchance WMC with channel editors and the like, it no longer updates the channel guide.

What is required to reset my WMC - can I uninstall/reinstall, or do I need to clear out additional files and registry entries?
Edit - WMC runs fine in other all other ways. It plays video, recorded TV, and live TV - it just won't update the guide.

https://heavyins527.weebly.com/blog/minn-kota-serial-number-search. I had the same problem about 2 months after installing a SiliconDust HomeRun Prime on a 3 year old Windows 7 Dell XPS Studio computer. I solved it by repeating the 'Set Up TV Signal' task:
WMC startup page > Tasks > settings > TV > TV Signal > Set Up TV Signal
This process will take 15-30 minutes, so be patient.
Good luck!
