 The good news is, on that same system - same software - same everything - I'm getting absolutely perfect, 100% flawless playback of UHD HDR using the Windows "Movies & TV App" or "PowerDVD 17". In fact the Windows Movies & TV App is giving me exceptional picture quality, better then even PDVD. The colors are brilliant, unlike I've ever seen. 

 How are you getting Windows 10 to play UHD HDR files in the Movies & TV App? Whenever I try to play one of my UHD rips (inside mkv container), the app says it cannot play that file.  Were there any settings you had to change to achieve this? Thanks.

Hi Bart,

I'm also playing UHD HDR in mkv container, proper .mkv file. I didn't have to do anything at all. Did not touch any settings. In fact I didn't even know I could play a UHD HDR MKV in the Windows Movies & TV App. When I right click on my MKV file, I chose Open With and I had a couple of options including the Movies & TV app. I just selected that and it starting playing.

I have Windows 10 Pro x64 with latest updates; GT 1030 with latest Nvidia drivers, if that makes any difference.

Quite honestly I'm finding the Movies & TV app producing better image and colors then the other apps, and HDR kicked on in my display instantly. No lag, no issues. I just need to figure out if I can use Movies & TV app as an external player to Kodi for my UHD HDR MKV files.

Thanks.
