Apologies in advance, Honestly do not know where or how to start with explaining what is going on as I exhausted my search bars and my brain researching and trying to learn about my issue.

Hi,

The .AVI file format is listed as one of the supported video formats in Movies & TV. We need to gather more information for us know why you're unable to play .AVI video files using the Microsoft Movies & TV app. Please provide the answers to the questions
below:

• Just to clarify, can you play other .AVI video files?
