Hi @marne01 ,
It may be easier to install another media player in the computer and use it as the default player in the computer. The example linked supports nearly every type of file out there so it should work.

Ok thanks for your reply
Hi @marne01 ,
What file type is the video. Check the file extension of the video file in Windows Explorer (assuming you have a Windows laptop and not Linux ).
If Win 10 are you using the Movies and TV app to view the video?

What is the file type? It appears at the end of a file name (for example, 'testfile.mp4'). It can be MP4, AVI, 3GP, MOV, etc...

Where is the file type located

@marne1
Open Windows Explorer and at the top of the Windows Explorer page click on View and then click the checkbox for File Name Extensions.
Then in Windows explorer, locate the movie that you downloaded onto the computer from the phone and it should show the file name and the extension which is the type of file that it is. i.e. file name first followed by the file type AFTER the dot e.g. .mp4 is a file type
