Windows 10: How to make subtitles default to "ON" in Movies & TV app on w10

I have installed Movies & TV app on w10.There is option to select subtitles, but in an .mkv file, subtitles are built-in, but app's settings for subtitles default to OFF, and I have to manually select one of the listed subtitIe everytime. Also, I find that whenever the apps runs the next movie or next episode of a series, the subtiles again become OFF, and I have to reselect through icon. It is not just closing the app and rerunning it. Even when next video runs in same opened instance of app, it makes subtitles OFF.I couldnt' find any settings to set it on or whatever related to subtitle

:)

How to Run Cyrilic Subtitles On Movies&TV ?

Hi TonyTonguc,

Thank you for the reply.

I suggest you to download the subtitles for the show or the movie and load the subtitles,
Movies & TV app in Windows 10 supports loading external subtitles. If you are interested in loading an external subtitles file in the
Movies & TV app on Windows 10.

1. Try downloading the subtitles for your favorite show or the movie you want to watch. It can be downloaded as a zip file. Following the download, you can save the file anywhere you want, but in
   SRT format.
   
2. If you have downloaded the subtitles in a
   zipped file, extract them at a suitable location.
   
3. Open the video in the Films & TV app and click the Speech bubble button visible just adjacent to the
   volume button. If the file has subtitles encoded, they will appear with the following option displayed –
   Choose subtitle file.
   
4. Click Choose subtitle file and select the
   SRT file you downloaded. The subtitles will start appearing on your screen right away
   
5. Please note that if your media file features multiple audio tracks, you can choose and switch to the desired subtitle from inside the Movies & TV app.
   
6. If you would like to modify or change the audio track, click the Language button next to the
   Play/Pause button.
   
7. You should observe a popup list displaying you the available channels. Click the one you want to switch to and the track will change on the fly.
   

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Regards,

Sadly Autumn it seems like this is one of the video files that the inbuilt subtitles are not supported for by the movies and tv app. I am really sorry for the trouble this caused.
