    Hi,

    You need a codec to play the video file. A codec is software that is used to compress or decompress a digital media file, such as a song or video. Windows Media Player and other programs use codec to play and create digital media files.

    You may refer to the below link for further guidance on the issue:

     You may also use your favorite search engine to download and install a codec as per the file type you need to use.

    NOTE - Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.
