Films & TV App error - Message = {Desktop composition is disabled} - XPS 8950 - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080
When I try to play to play video files via the Win 11 Films & TV app they have a tendency of crashing. All drivers are up to date (inc BIOS) - Hardware check passes.
I get this error, I have searched online but I can't seem to find an answer! Any help will be good - Thanks
