Quote PowerDVD does not show up in any default app selection

Can you see it on control panel default program settings?

No. Not in default programs or in Associate file types

Hi GaryShelton,

Another way to set PowerDVD 17 as default player:

• Right click on a video file and choose properties


• Under "General" you will find "Opens with":...."Change"


• Click on change and select PowerDVD 17

Please let us know if any concerns.

I thought that was going to work for a while..but no joy.



After right clicking'open with I was able to eventually navigate to the .exe file. Now when I choose open with PDVD is finally a choice, so that's good. After opening the file PDVD prompted that it was not the default, I clicked set as default, this took me to the settings page once again and I thought it would now show.. no such luck, and just double clicking files open the stock viewer.



Thanks for your time
