Windows 10 Supports MKV Out of the Box

Microsoft has Released Windows 10 Build 9860 and if you Haven't Downloaded it Yet, here is How you Can do so. Since its Release, we Have been Digging through the New OS and Finding All Kinds of New Features that Weren't Announced When the Build was Released. One Item that is New in Windows 10 that Wasn't Present in Windows 8.1 is Support for MKV Files Out of the Box. For those Who Don't Know, MKV Files are a Popular Format for Movies and the Addition of this Support will Likely Appease Many Windows Users. If you Want to Test Out Support for MKV on your Install, you Can Download a Sample Video from Jellyfish. After the File Downloads, When you Open it Up, Windows will Ask you What App you Want to Use to Open this Type of File with; Select Windows Media Player.


After you Select WMP, a Warning will Pop Up Saying that, the Player Doesn't Support this File but, if you Click 'Yes', the File will then Play. We Tested this in Windows 8.1 and When you Try to Play the File in that OS, Windows Media Player Won't Play the Content if you Try to Bypass the Warning. This Means that, Windows 10 does Have Support for MKV, Even if it is Early in the Implementation, for the File Type.
