Windows 11 Pro 25H2 (RP channel)
Neither Media Player nor Films and TV apps will play Dolby Digital audio now, saying 'not supported' on any DD tracks
Yes I know DD support was removed in 24H2, but only with a clean install, not an upgrade from 23H2 (which I did)

Anyway, would the Dolby Access app install the codecs again so I can use these apps?

Not interested in 'free' codec packs or anything as I don't trust them!
VLC is an option but I like the built-in MS apps

I've re-installed Power DVD 22 to play videos with, this doesn't enable the codecs for the MS apps though
Marked Solved even though it isn't but as it can't be fixed...
