I guess this is more of a kudos post to Microsoft for doing such a bang up job on their programing. I'm also noticing that there is a huge difference in battery performance using Explorer vs Chrome as well so I'm using Explorer exclusively now on this laptop and honestly for what I do for work it makes zero difference to me which browser I use.
That's a huge performance difference and obviously is going to be a big difference on the battery. I tested it by going back and forth playing the same file over and over between the two apps and it was undeniable.
I noticed that if I use VLC the processor runs at about 20% and if I use the default Movie & TV player with Windows 10 it used at less than 5% for the same exact file. Choose an output format or preset from 'Profile' drop-down list at the bottom left side. Select 'Load Disc' option at the upper left corner side to import Blu-ray movies. Insert the Blu-ray disc into the drive, and launch the program.
(I download most of what I watch and I travel often). These instructions apply to any edition of Windows 10 64-bit version. The point of this post is that I got the 7th gen processor because I read it does a much better job on battery life due to its hardware with many MKV encoded videos H264 specifically. Figure 1.I just purchased the HP Envy 13 i5-7200u 8gb 256gb NVMe PCIe very light weight laptop and it is amazing me with it's 14 hour battery and extreme rapid charging. If you want to do it for music files as well, do. Under Choose Default apps, for the Video player click on Movies & TV and switch to VLC Media Player. IT pros can confirm this by looking at the 'Default apps by file type' page on the Windows control panel (Figure 1). Here are the detailed steps to make VLC the default media (video as well as audio) player: Click on the Windows Start button, search for and go to Settings.

To begin, IT professionals should identify the existing file associations. For that reason, SetUserFTA can perform commands to change Windows 10 default file type associations. The SetUserFTA hash used to calculate the file association change in the registry in secret, but the developer of SetUserFTA reverse engineered this. The only workaround to this is to hack the registry, which is exactly what SetUserFTA does. With Windows 10, IT can no longer script or modify file associations in the registry. IT can find this tool on Kolbicz's blog or with package managers such as Chocolatey. Select a preferred language for your installation and click on Ok. If it asks for other permissions on Windows click on Yes as well. SetUserFTA allows IT professionals to quickly change Windows 10 default file type associations with unwanted applications in bulk with a single command. exe installation file (vlc-2.1.0-win32.exe or vlc-2.1.0-win64.exe) If a security warning appears saying that the publisher could not be verified, click on Run.

SetUserFTA, created by IT consultant Christoph Kolbicz, may not be a good fit for all organizations due to the lack of a major vendor backing it. Luckily, IT professionals can edit these defaults with the SetUserFTA tool. IT pros essentially have to use a combination of XML, the Windows Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) utility and Group Policy.
The problem with this process is that the available tools for managing the associations are not very effective. To address these UX concerns, IT can change the file type association.
