If a new Windows 11 installation cannot see or play embedded videos (e.g., in browsers, PowerPoint), it is likely due to missing Media Feature Pack codecs, outdated graphics drivers, or browser setting issues.
Key Fixes:

Install Media Feature Pack: Go to Settings > System > Optional features, click View features, search for "Media Feature Pack," and install it.
Update Graphics Drivers: Download the latest drivers from Intel, AMD, or NVIDIA to ensure proper video rendering.
Check Browser Settings: Disable extensions (like ad blockers), clear cache, and enable JavaScript.
