Windows 10: Movies & TV app now redirects to Media Player-Purchased Movies and TV Shows Inaccessible

I'm running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 26100.3195. When I try to open the Movies & TV app, I am now redirected to the Media Player app. I can no longer download or play any of my movies purchased through the Microsoft Store. I have tried copying a link from my video library in the store to Media Player and get error code 0xC00D36C4. This happens with all of my movies and TV shows.

Movies & TV app

Until today I have been able to play videos from a memory card with the Movies & TV app. Now when I attempt to play one I am asked how I want to open it and Movies & TV is not listed in options. I tried Windows Media player but had no luck. What has changed
and how do I get back to the app (Movies & TV) that was working prior to today?

Microsoft Movies & TV Integration With Windows 11 Media Player?

I Have A Feature Request Here… Could We Add Microsoft’s Movies & TV App Integration Into The New Media Player App For Windows 11? We Can Watch Movies & TV Shows Directly From It’s New Media Player App, It Should Be Outstanding!
