Windows 10: Windows 11 pro update in late 2023 interferes with media server <-> TV connection

The app is Serviio. The TV with the problem is Sony, new model but six year old model had same problem with the update. Media Streaming win11p has been turned on and off, enabled to Serviio, enable to TV, both, or neither. Media has not been made available to the built-in media streaming function in Windows 11 meaning the directories / drives are not mapped.Will be playing a movie or TV show from a file on the hard drive of this Windows 11 pro computer, and the TV will say "cannot play video". From once a minute, to once a day. It is not file format, because it plays up to the connect

Using Windows Media Server from a 2010 Panasonic Viera TV - no sound

I've just connected up my Panasonic TX-L32D25 via structured cabling, (ie via Cat5e) replicating a setup I last had before I moved in 2015.

Whilst the TV can see the Windows 10 media server OK, and list music, it doesn't play the .wav files. However, I also have a Windows 7 machine on the same network, and the TV plays the .wav files on that machine with no problem.

Is this a Panasonic software issue - an incompatibility with Win10 or is it a Win10 issue with the implementation of Media Server?

 

Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro

Thanks much, Dave, indeed it was a big job.

Clean install of Windows 11 from a bootable USB helped to Activate the Pro.

Just to summarize what was done:

1. Took backup of the drives and save some on cloud.
   
2. Installed the Media creation tool app as you suggested (https://www.microsoft.com/software-...t=Windows 11 Installation-,Media,-If you want)
   
3. Connected the USB and ran the application and downloaded the Windows 11.
   
   1. additional thing which I had to do is to install WLAN driver to the USB in advance, to have the WIFI option available as it was required to connect to a network to download the latest windows features while reinstalling the Windows, and Wi-Fi option was not available.
      
4. Turned off the 'Secure boot' from the BIOS menu.
   
5. Changed the 'Boot Order' in the BIOS menu to first use the USB Boot.
   
6. Saved and Exit, which triggered Restart and Windows installation.
   
7. During the network connecting stage to install the latest updates and features - 'Let's Connect you to a network', I opened the CMD (Shift + F10) and ran than WLAN driver exe to install it and then I was able to connect to my WIFI network.
   
   1. Optional to this step is to BYPASS the network connection stage by following this - bypass "lets connect you to a network" - Microsoft Community
      
   2. Then, doing that manually once Windows has been installed.
      
8. Once everything is set-up, I followed the suggestion from this again, and it worked - Unable to upgrade Windows 11 Home to 11 Pro - Microsoft Community
