Windows 10: Movies and TV isn't finding all my videos

I use Movies and TV to watch videos. I have added all my folders containing videos to the app, but it finds videos in only some of the folders- others say there are no videos in the folder. Everything is in an mp4 format. I am running Windows 11 Pro with all updates installed with 32 GB RAM and an Intel i9 processor. How can I get the app to find all my videos in all folders, or how can I bget it to rescan my drives to find all my videos. I have tried deleting the "empty" folders and re-adding them, but it still doesn't help.

Please don't reset the app or do any those steps that the previous poster suggested, they're unnecessary and can cause other problems.

The first step to try is restoring your purchases from within the settings menu of the Movies & TV app.

Click the … then select Settings, select Restore my available video purchases.

Give it a few minutes to run, then go back to the Purchased tab and try playing the movie again.
