与其早期版本一样，Windows 11/10 选择其默认播放器来运行您的音乐和视频剪辑。但是，如果您不喜欢默认的媒体播放器，而是想要一个不同的程序来打开您的音乐和视频文件，该怎么办？您可以将所需程序设置为default Media Player in Windows 11/10.让我们看看如何做到这一点。

Windows 11/10中的默认媒体播放器^{(Media Player)}

Windows有一组程序，它将始终用于打开某些文件类型。例如，当您尝试播放受支持的文件类型时，例如Windows Media Audio ( .wma ) 或Windows Media Video ( .wmv )，Windows Media Player会立即打开并自动开始播放文件。大多数情况下这很好，但您可能需要不同的程序来完成这项工作，例如VLC Media Player。所以这是一种方法。

WMP的最新版本包括将数字媒体与便携式媒体播放器（如 Microsoft 的Zune或 Creative 的Zen）同步的功能，以及从在线媒体商店购买或租用内容的功能，因此您可以将其保留为默认播放器。但是，其他媒体播放器（如VLC Media Player）已经在程序中内置了许多最流行的编解码器，因此您几乎可以观看任何视频文件，而无需下载编解码器包。

要更改Windows 11/10中的默认媒体播放器，请执行以下步骤：

1. 按 Win+I 打开 Windows 设置。
2. 转到 Apps > Default apps > Windows Media Player.
3. 单击文件扩展名。
4. 为此类文件选择所需的媒体播放器。
5. 对其他扩展重复^(Repeat)这些步骤。

要了解有关这些步骤的更多信息，请继续阅读。

要开始使用，请按 Win+I 打开计算机上的Windows 设置^{(Windows Settings)}。之后，转到 Apps > Default apps > Windows Media Player。

在这里您可以找到一些文件扩展名，例如 .mp3、.mp4等。您需要单击每个文件扩展名并选择另一个要设置为默认的媒体播放器。

Windows has a set of programs that it will always use to open certain file types. For instance, when you attempt to play a supported file type, such as Windows Media Audio (.wma) or Windows Media Video (.wmv), the Windows Media Player opens up instantly and automatically begins playing the file. Most of the time this is fine, but you might want a different program to do the job, such as VLC Media Player. So here’s a way how to do it.

Recent versions of WMP include the ability to synchronize digital media with a portable media player, like Microsoft’s Zune or Creative’s Zen and purchase or rent content from online media stores so, you may keep it as your default player. However, other media players like VLC Media Player has many of the most popular codecs already built into the program, so you can watch practically any video file without having to download a codec pack.

To change the default media player in Windows 11/10, follow these steps:

1. Press Win+I to open the Windows Settings.
2. Go to Apps > Default apps > Windows Media Player.
3. Click on a file extension.
4. Choose the media player you want for such files.
5. Repeat these steps for other extensions.
