After I noted that several updates had been released from the Microsoft Wizards, I thought I'd try it again. I, too, had that issue crop up frequently and would just get frustrated and reboot, thinking it was just another "undocumented feature" of an operating system that is not ready for prime time. I had rolled back to Win 10 for a while. Then patch it once is interesting, indeed. Then patch some more until Super Tuesday, then apply the hotfix, then patch it. Microsoft: If it ain't broken, then fix it until it is broken. I have to open the optical drive, then from the child file menu, right click the VIDEO_TS folder then click "Show more options" then click "Play with VLC Player." WHY so many clicks to do what used to be a two-click operation? I have not taken the time to install other video players, such as GOM Player or PowerDVD because this is a VM and not going to be my production machine. Now, after the last update, when I click "show more options," then click, "Play with VLC Player" nothing happens. However, in previous iterations of Windows, from the parent file menu (far left column) of File Explorer, one could right click on the optical drive and then click "play with xxx," in my case "play with VLC player." Now, one has to click, "Show more options," to get that function.
Of course, we have that insipid "show more options" to get to the part of the menu where any real action can take place. I now have an additional problem with a third-party app, VLC Player where I cannot right click and play a DVD. After the last two updates, I too have had the same trouble as you, though renaming files has settled down to about one in five files before file explorer reverts the renamed file back to the original file name. I'll go back to my original set-up of Win 10 with a Win 11 that is very interesting. Other than the prestige of having the latest OS, I don't see a big enough benefit of having Windows 11, at this time. I tried an automated mass re-namer, but each file needs a human eye on it for certain decisions that I cannot automate. However, today, I discovered the bug with renaming these incorrectly named files, so I am very tempted to roll back to Windows 10 and be done with it.
Then they took away having a clock on the lower right corner of each monitor, and I happen to play my full windows game on the far right window, so my clock is gone.
The whole ribbon is naked, it seems, and I had to download a patch just to regain the "move to folder" and "copy to folder" function. Hell, File Manager in Win 3.11 was better than this mess.
I really do not like the way File Explorer has been stripped down in Windows 11. I am trying to rename a bunch of media files for Plex Media Server and, well, I guess I'll have to spin up a Windows 10 Virtual Machine. Ah! I have an AMD rig and yep, this is happening to me, as well.
