It's completely inconsistent with traditional Windows design language and there's no "Cancel" button or an X in the corner to click on so you can't cancel out of it with your mouse and have to reach for Esc on your keyboard

It also tries to funnel you into a shitty Microsoft service

My (backed up ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‰) collection of movies and tv shows is made up of like 8 different file formats. I prefer to play them all with VLC, but every few months Windows likes to forget that and they'll randomly open with Windows Media Player, and i have to go through this bullshit.

It's especially annoying because VLC doesn't appear in the list, so I have to manually select the program in File Explorer. For every video format.

and it tries to get you to buy codecs from the windows store to play certain videos lol, it's absurd
