    Apps turn transparent when moved on top of media apps


    Whenever I have a video of some sort playing whether it's a video in an internet browser or a media player, and I move another app in front of it like task viewer or file explorer, the second app turns transparent in the places where it overlaps the video app. It lets me see the video through the app I have in front of the video, but I don't know how to disable this. Is there any way to disable this?

    :)

    Yep, just realize theres no emoticons
    And i dunno its from the app or something, sometimes i need to refresh several times to show the content

    One more please add app update notification from the app or button for reporting bugs or suggestion


    One suggestion, may you put menu on dropdown on top corner so we can move without pressing back again and again


    Thank you

    Windows Media Player is not in Default apps list in Windows 10

    I know, this question was asked many times, but there is still no answer that can actually solve the problem. There are steps to get the WMP in Windows Optional Features, install it if missing, etc. - I did all that, and now WMP runs and plays media files. However, there is no way in Windows 10 to set it as a Default App to play media file types.

    • Go to "Default apps" > "Music Player" > "Choose Default" - WMP is not there.
    • "Choose default apps by file type" > ".mp3" > "Choose a default" - WMP is not there.
    • "Set Defaults by app" > Windows Media Player is here! > select "Manage" > find ".mp3" > "Choose a default" - the only choice is "Look for an app in the Microsoft Store".

    After a long time spent searching I found this article: How to make any program the default on Windows 10 - gHacks Tech News

    Apparently after 1803 you are supposed to use hackers tools to set the Microsoft's own Windows Media Player as default. I used FileTypesMan as was suggested in the article, but when I try to change assignments for .mp3 files, I get "Error 5: Access is denied" from the tool. Also, if I right-click on an .mp3 file and select "Open with..." it still suggests me to go to Microsoft Store, open with Notepad, Paint, Word, but not Windows Media Player.

    What is the proper way to make WMP the default media player, so it shows up in the Default apps list?
