can't play avi-files in windows media player or in xbox

Hi Mavagle,

Windows Media Player and Xbox support AVI files. With the problem you've encountered, there could be changes on your computer or could be unsupported contents on the AVI files that may have caused your Windows Media Player and Xbox to stop play those files.

For us to verify this, we would like to know the following:

• Were there any changes performed on your computer prior to the issue?
• What version of Windows Media Player do you have?
• Have you set Windows Media Player as the default app for your AVI files?

In the meantime, please check the current version of your Windows Media Player. See this
link for the steps. Check also if Windows Media Player was set as the default apps to open media
files. Follow these steps:

• Open Settings, then click System.
• In the left pane, click Defaults apps, then click Choose default apps by file type.
• Under the Name column, scroll down to AVI File, then select
  Windows Media Player as the default app for it.
• Once done, check if you're now able to play AVI files.

You may also see
File types supported by Windows Media Player for more information.

Looking forward to your feedback.

Regards.
