    You should download PressPlay Video from Microsoft Store which is a free app. Being from Microsoft Store it is a clean app. This will play your VOB files also.

    Check if you can play the VOB file again.

    If that does not work.

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: appwiz.cpl

    Hit Enter

    Click View installed updates

    Select the recent update

    Right click it then click uninstall.

    Restart then see if you can now play VOB files.

    If that does not work, consider performing a repair upgrade or switch to VLC player.
