Windows 10: Microsoft Windows 11 Films and Tv app bug

There is an issue with the films and tv app in windows 11. A lot of people claim it is sysmain.exe. However it is the films and tv that causes a 100% disk C usage seizing up that hard drive and preventing normal operating system activity. If you are patient load the same mp4 or mov into windows movie player and eventually the 100% disk usage stops as well as extra cpu activity. Then everything works normally again. Stopping sysmain etc doesn't really help. Even if you load up a file from a different drive say D the 100% usage will appear on disk C eventually. Want to report this to Microsoft

Hi Justine,

thank you for helping me. I followed the steps that you outlined in your reply, but when I reached step 3 a small frame opened, however, I could not edit to remove the device. This was display only. The document appears to be saying you can only remove a
device by logging in to that device.

For your info I am running Windows 10 Pro in S mode. version 1803 OS build 17134.254.

In the support documents is says:-

Films & Tv App

Hi Guys

In the Films & Tv app is it possible to get my personal films to arrange by folder rather than all listed by name. I'm sure I had it like that but something has changed and now there all listed on one page sorted by name.

Info - My movies are all stored on an external Hdd in a few different folders not in the default Videos folder

Cheers Danny

 

Films & TV App

How do I remove a device that I have listed as being able to download movies when the device is broken and I cannot logon to it? The help seems to suggest, you logon to the device then go to the Films & TV app and select settings. In this path you can
then select Remove this device. Problem is I cannot logon to that device. Any ideas? Thanks
