Play/ Play All music folder option in win 11 is missing I need to highlight the media and right click to play the music, is it one of the win 11 feature to not have that option, or just a one of the win 11 errors.

    Microsoft stopped caring what you want about 20 years ago. Since then they have eliminated every single feature that allowed you control anything in the OS. They say that it's still there, but instead of one or two clicks, it's literally 6 or 7 clicks IF you can find it. You can no longer right click and just say "Play". You have to install or allow 'bloatware'. As of this last update you can't just click into the path bar at the top to find most used paths. That's gone. Now you have to navigate 20 clicks in. After 40 years of using Windows, I'm leaving because they're spitting on our faces.

    Go to music. Select album. Click on three dots. Click on select all. All the songs will appear with light blue. Write click on first song to open dropdown. Click on open. All songs will play in order.

    The original post already mentioned what you said:

    The point of the thread is, that with earlier Explorer versions, you didn't have to do that. You didn't have to click on any tracks, there was a 'play/play all' button on the top of the Explorer bar, which Windows have since removed.

    Plus, the method that Windows now leave us with no choice but to use, does NOT work when wanting to play multiple FLAC files, only .mp3 ones, sadly.
