    I updated Win11 to 24H2 which naturally broke my WMC again so i installed 8.8.7 now.
    And of course uninstalled playready to solve the delay issue.

    All is working except recording settings...i can click on a show in the tv guide and schedule recording but nothing really gets recorded, and if i check the planned recordings the list is empty.
    Does this one ring a bell?

    *edit* Even hit the record button manually doesn't seem to actually record so it would seem i can't record anything anymore on Win 11 24H2 8.8.7

    You don't mention whether you can watch any channels live. If you can, then the recorders are probably disabled in WMC. Edit the channel sources and verify your tuners are checked/enabled.

    Yes live tv actually worked, scheduling a recording didn't.
    (You could have deducted that from the sentence "All is working except recording settings")

    I now uninstalled WMC again and reinstalled 8.8.5 Blue, scanned for my channels again (always a hour or so task that), live tv works and i can schedule recordings again!

    But now i have no sound on HD channels...never free of problems...i know there is a dolby fix or so mentioned here recently, i'll read back.
    Problem is i can't reboot now, doing harddisk reconfigs + backups of all stuff to external disks, but i'll survive waiting.

    (edit, no sound on HD channels issue is now also solved)
