      xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
      mc:Ignorable="d" 
      d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
    Title="Page1" Loaded="Page_Loaded">

        <MediaElement  Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="4" Margin="0,0,47,0" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Width="80" Source="progress.gif" LoadedBehavior="Manual" Name="MP"/>

Have you checked your gif resource? Is it playing well when you open it in web browser, like IE — Franklin Chen - MSFT, Mar 17 '17 at 05:32

You could use the WpfAnimatedGif library to easily display an animated gif using a simple Image element:

How do I get an animated gif to work in WPF?

Just download the package from NuGet: https://www.nuget.org/packages/WpfAnimatedGif

And set the ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource attached property of the Image element:

<Page x:Class="WpfApplication3.Page1"
      xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
      xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
      xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" 
      xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" 
      mc:Ignorable="d" 
      d:DesignHeight="300" d:DesignWidth="300"
      Title="Page1"
    <Grid>
        <Image gif:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="progress.gif" />
   </Grid>
</Page>
