Windows 11 users often seek alternatives to the default applications due to limited functionality and usability. The process of changing default apps differs between Windows 10 and 11; Windows 11 requires users to set a default app for each file type individually. The default media player, Movies & TV app, has limitations such as lack of codec support and missing features like conversion tools. Recommended alternatives include VLC Media Player and PotPlayer. Microsoft Edge is underutilized, with only 15% of users opting for it, while alternatives like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera GX, and Vivaldi are popular. Microsoft's Clipchamp is a basic video editor, with Adobe Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve as better options for complex editing. The Photos app is the default image editor, with Adobe Photoshop as the premium choice and GIMP and Canva as free alternatives. Windows 11's screen recording tools, like Xbox Game Bar, may underperform, while OBS Studio and Nvidia's GeForce Experience's ShadowPlay offer better options.
