All ended up with error coda5 which I see is a known problem. Got to a stage where I had virtually a blue screen saying "bad luck". Down loading a MS ISO of Win10 at the moment to try and resurrect my system. Last install was GPT on UEFI. Hope it all works.	Bryan (147)

If you have 5 different images and none are working I'd think its not the images but something else. If you are going to reinstall anyway, then try wiping the drive clean to start with partitioning Software and boot from the rescue Media (CD or USB) that should have been created within Macrium when making the 1st image and see if that lays it back down. Back to original Post -- What do you mean by "music list " Are you referring to a Playlist that's been created or something else ??	wainuitech (129)
1482031	2021-11-14 04:38:00	I have created a folder where I store my music videos. The folder then has separate individual folders for each artist. When in an artists folder, with Win10 I could invoke the "Play all" command in the top ribbon and all would play right through without any further intervention by me. Can't do this with Win 11.

Funny you mention that method. Did Something the same over the weekend for my Media Center. Got A folder with music Videos -- All I did was right click the folder - Show More Options (down bottom) Play with {Insert your fav media player} and away they go. Now I just need to adjust the media player so it plays them at Random and not in Order :) (I use JRiver media Center 28)	wainuitech (129)
1482033	2021-11-15 00:57:00	Thank you. I will give it a try.	Bryan (147)
1482034	2021-11-15 17:57:00	Thanks for the tip. Right click -show more options - Then I chose "Play with MPC-HC" and it worked a treat but it would be nice to use this feature as default and I can't find it in APPS as you could in the Win10 settings. One other problem is getting the colour system right for Windows 11. Colours, text, brightness, contrast etc all to hell. Even adjusting my monitor has no effect either.	Bryan (147)
1482035	2021-11-16 09:27:00	I think this just achieves the same thing as the method wainui mentioned and I dunno if it's available in windows 11 but. Right click a folder, choose properties, customise, tick the also apply to subfolders box, optimise this folder for music or videos, should make windows realise that it's music etc To be fair though I never use the ribbon as you describe and I don't have windows 11 :) Personally I tend to use the right click menu.	dugimodo (138)
1482036	2021-12-19 17:26:00	Eureka! Just a follow up on this problem. In Windows 11, if you have a folder of video music that you wish to play through without intervention it can be done. I have found that if you use Windows 11's "Films & TV" player, when the first item to play is on the screen and playing, go to the bottom right of the screen to the three dots. This brings up options from which you can select Autoplay and the folder will play through. This also will stay as the default so that in future all folders will Autoplay without further intervention.	Bryan (147)
