I am running Windows 11 24H2 and I can confirm that WMP is still there. I use it to play my CD collection.

That old WMP is now renamed to Windows Media Player Legacy. It may not be enabled by default in fresh Windows 11 installation, for example if you bought new PC.
It can be easily enabled, for exact steps google it. I am using WML Legacy on my computer, too.
Microsoft just released Windows 11 update 25H2, and after installing it I still have old WML.

Use VLC player (free). It can do few other things beside being an audio/video player.

VLC is the media player of choice and has been (for me) for a very long time. It is one app that I install in the first hour or so of getting a new PC. https://www.videolan.org/

I use Media Player Classic (at least I think it's MPC) to play my videos. I don't know if it is still available now. I installed mine years ago.
