Can't convert audio to Windows Media
madbrain:
All my conversions to Windows Media fail, regardless of whether I'm targetting lossles, CBR or VBR mode.
The conversion instantly ends with "Conversion complete".
When I click on details, all I get is "Failed" for each file I'm trying to convert.
Conversions to all other formats seem to work.
What could be the problem ? I'm on Windows 10 x64 Pro.
It doesn't seem to matter what the source format is, just the target format being Windows Media.

If by Windows Media you mean WMA, then it has been discussed here in several threads now.
Here's the short of it:
The Windows 10 anniversary update (aka Windows 10 version 1607 OR build 14393.xx) introduced a bug that results in failures in WMA/WMV encoding.
The only known workaround is to copy "WMVCORE.DLL" and "WMVENCOD.DLL" from the "system32" ("sysWOW64" on Windows x64) folder in Windows 10 version 1511 into the Media Center installation folder and restart so that those files are used in WMA encoding.

I don't have Win10 version 1511, so I could not get those files . All my machines are on the anniversary update.
Any chance of working around this bug in MC ?
FYI, I'm trying to target WMA to play in my 2015 Chevrolet Volt . The only other file formats supported by the car are MP3 and AAC. AAC doesn't seem to be offered natively in MC22 as an option. MP3 does work.
I was hoping to try a lossless format. WMA lossless was reported to fail in the 2011 model of the car, but nobody has reported on it since.

When did MC not play AAC?
To be clear, I think you mean that MC doesn't natively encode AAC. However you can employ a standalone encoder via the external encoder functionality:
Tools > Options > Encoding > Encoder: External Encoder
Then click on ... Encoder settings ...
Filename: [Location\Filename_External_Encoder.exe]
Parameters: [Refer external encoder guidance]
Extension: m4a
