I concur. You could try connecting an SSD but the cut down LMS that resides inside a Touch is a) very cut down and b) very old You would be better off as Ronnie says getting yourself a Pi3, sticking piCorePlayer on it and stick the SSD into that. The version of LMS in pCp is right up to date.

I concur that this is nothing to do with the players - it is either server side or network related. The most likely culprit is W10 elevated privileges. You must install LMS as Administrator and then you must set it up to properly run as administrator on start up (after reboot). The admin user mu

As others have said you are using the wrong Windows version of LMS BUT there is another issue hidden in your description of the problem. You say that both your PC and Touch are wireless and you are installing LMS on the PC with presumably the music files either on your PC or NAS. Music on PC.
