To change the default player in Windows 10, follow these steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Open “Settings”: click on the Start menu button, then click on the “Settings” icon (shaped like a gear).<\/li>\n
  2. Access the “Apps” settings: Click on the “Apps” option in the settings window.<\/li>\n
  3. Open the “Default Apps” tab: In the left panel, select the “Default Apps” tab.<\/li>\n
  4. Find default player settings: Scroll down in the list of default apps and locate two options, “Music Player” and “Video Player”.<\/li>\n
  5. Change the default player: Click on the drop-down menu next to each option and select the application you want to set as the default player. If you want to use another application as the default player but it is not listed, you can click on the “Microsoft Store” link and search for and install the application you want in the store.<\/li>\n
  6. Repeat the steps above: If you want to change the default player for music and videos, repeat steps 4 and 5.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    After completing the above steps, your Windows 10 system will use the application you selected as the default player. Please note that changing the default player will only affect new music and video files, not existing ones.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
