good chance but only if your system meets the requirements

Re: Windows 11
 

I have been running Windows 11 as part of the Windows Insider Program. I am now on the release version and it is running fine. I much better like the interface compared with Windows 10 which i never fully got on with.

As i am hard of hearing and need hearing aids the redesigned closed caption themes that are easier to read and customise are a bonus.

Time will tell if Microsoft have finely moved away from the good OS then bad OS cycle :)

Coincidence?

Re: Windows 11
 

Right ive installed Windows 11 but i have 2 problems which i cannot find the answer to.

1 - I cannot set MP4 files to play via a default app as whatever app i look under to play back in the default app list it does not list MP4 files.

2 - When I try and view pics in a folder, I don't get icons of the pics showing up on the folder.

Re: Windows 11
 

Right click on MP4 file select search for app, find the app you want to open it and click the box always open with this app ( or words to that effect)


Click View and select large icons or extra large depending on the size you want to see

Re: Windows 11
 

Doesn't give me an option to search for an app. I can choose to open with an app each time but it wont allow me to set as a default app for that file type.

Here's how to do it in 11, it's not as easy as 10 for some reason

Re: Windows 11
 

right click / open with / choose another app / find app and tick the box

Just tested it and it worked and it is almost identical to windows 10

This method is a PITA. I dunno why M$ did this as it is a terrible idea

Re: Windows 11
 

I know this may sound daft but ive tried searching for MP4 to associate and it doesnt find the format.

Re: Windows 11
 

What Video Player are you using?

Re: Windows 11
 

just follow the instruction I gave. Point it to a player and tick the box

If all else fails install teamviewer and send me your details I will take over your pc and show you how simple it is

Re: Windows 11
 

Ive tried my main player which ive used for 2 years which is pot player

Ive tried doing what it suggests in that but it simply just wont find the MP4 files to associate.

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 :)
