Can't change default video player

[tonyytie]

Hi

So for some odd reason I can't change the default video player in Windows 10. When I would click the 'Video Player' on the 'Default App Settings', it would just freeze and eventually close. However I can click on any other settings fine, just not video player.

I also tried to open a .mp4 file with another app but everytime I would click the 'Open With', it also freezes and the whole 'Windows explorer' crashes.

Thanks

Nvm I figured it out.

I had to uninstall the default "Film & TV" video player from windows through Powershell. Then I could select the video player I wanted for default.

Use this site if anyone else needs to uninstall it as well:
