How do I reinstall Windows Media Player in Windows 10 after it disappeared?

The Windows Media Player program has disappeared in Windows 10 during an upgrade. The file folder and some of the programs are there. I still have the icon in my file list but the program does not load when I click on the icon. How can I reinstall?
