So if you want to make VLC as the default media player in Windows 11/10, you will have to do it manually.
After installing VLC, the setup wizard usually asks if you want to use it as the default player. If you chose yes, then it should be working. However, if another software prompts to be the default player, then it will replace the VLC.
