Re: Windows 11
have you tried opening the player and dragging the file into it? I feel you are making this hard work

Re: Windows 11
Use VLC, it plays audio just the same as video :)

Re: Windows 11
Im not the only one with this issue it seems
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...a-da6eb765fc5b When i double click an MP4 it asks me what i want to do with it, now i can choose each time to play it but i cannot associate that file type with ANY player including VLC. |

Did you try the fix on there ?

Re: Windows 11
you may need to browse to the exe of potplayer but as I say following these steps associates an mp4 with potplayer
|
Re: Windows 11
As i stated the option is greyed out, everytime i choose to play an MP4 i have to manually choose what player i cannot set as default app as the option is greyed out.
It doesnt give the option to always use the app |

Re: Windows 11
I can right click and select open with but i cannot choose it permanently
Maybe if i do a fresh install instead of an upgrade these issues may clear up so when i have a few hours to burn i will do so.. |
Re: Windows 11
Have you tried a different .mp4 file?
(in case the one you are trying is corrupt) |
Re: Windows 11
That wont make any difference, it simply works off the actual extension.
You could create a empty text file with an .mp4 extension and it should still work (ie try and open it with your video player of choice). |
Re: Windows 11
Well i did a full reinstall and guess what? It fixed the issue so obviously somewhere along the line during the upgrade process a corruption occurred.

Re: Windows 11
How to get the full right click menu back instead of hitting Shift F10 or Show More Options
1. Open Regedit by hitting the Windows key and typing regedit. Hit Enter to launch it. 2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID 3. Right-click > New > Key, and paste in this name: {86ca1aa0-34aa-4e8b-a509-50c905bae2a2} 4. With the new key you just created highlighted, again right-click > New > Key, and paste in this name: InprocServer32 5. Double-click the (Default) registry entry and then hit Enter without typing anything to set its value to blank. Before making this change, you'll see under the Data column that it says (value not set), but once you hit Enter it'll show nothing. 6. Close Registry Editor. To see your new (classic) context menu, either restart your computer or open Task Manager, scroll down to the Windows Explorer process, and right-click > End task. Then File > Run new task and type explorer.exe to restart the Windows explorer process. And there you go: context menus changed! ---------- Post added at 21:32 ---------- Previous post was at 21:21 ---------- Quote:

Late to this show because I only just installed Windows 11. Started my own thread right next to the Windows 10 thread, because I didn't spot this one. :rolleyes:
The installation of W11 on my Asus went very smoothly, but took an age. So far, I can't see any compelling reason to change from Windows 10, so I won't be upgrading my processor (£200). on my main PC. just to accommodate it. |

This says run the exe from the iso/usb so create the media then run it perhaps although the upgrade will likely do the same. It says it then gives a warning rather than a rejection |

Can I assume that having the internet disconnected stops the installer looking for updates and thereby causing it to fall over? You next answer will tell me whether I want to continue with this or not. I got a warning telling me that even if I do manage to install W11, I won't get build updates anyway. If that is the case, my attempts end here. BTW Thanks for your help so far. |
Re: Windows 11
That is my theory on it
I thought the warning was may not get updates down the line? If it was me I would continue cuz I enjoy playing with this sort of thing, if however you are not enjoying the experiment then stop now. The good side of all this is you keep backups as you said you use acronis so you are not losing anything but a bit of time :) |

People on unsupported hardware are currently being offered Windows 11, probably one big screw up, but I'm hoping MS are rethinking the hardware requirements.

Apparently it's a bug and anyone that upgraded to Windows 11 on an unsupported device via this error have 7 days to roll back, after that they will have to reinstall Windows 10.

If you download the Windows 11 ISO you can use a free program called Rufus (which lets you create a bootable Windows 11 USB Stick). You are given the option to choose No TPM / No SecureBoot

Really enjoying Windows Subsystem for Android. Sideloaded TVMob along side Adguard APKs so you can run Adguard on the subsystem and it kills all the android apps adverts which is awesome as they can be a nightmare
Also been playing with Docker on Windows Subsystem for Linux another really good feature Shame Apple being how they are will never allow there to be a Windows Subsystem for iMac |
Re: Windows 11
For the very few interested 22H2 appears to have enabled Windows Subsystem for Android in the UK. To install simply make sure PC is up to date and simply install the Amazon Appstore from the Microsoft Store and it should do the rest for you, including all the Virtual stuff if needed.
You can sideload any APK with this but if you want PlayStore you will need to install a modded version of WSA. They are up to Android 12 now iirc. I run the modded version |
