Subtitles in videos in Windows 10.
I've noted that the codec icons don't appear anymore when opening these mkvs.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Your interest in Windows 10 is much appreciated.
You have to play the video file in Video app. Then while you watch the video, you have to right click on the video to get “Playback Option”.
Note: You will get subtitles only if the video has it.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any other issues with Windows, please do post it in Microsoft Community. We would be happy to help you.
Thank you

I think he meant playing subtitles with video files in the new Movie & TV app for windows 10. There is no right click function for a playback option but in windows 8.1 there was. This is something I'm concerned about as well, my wife is not an English speaker so all our movies need subtitles. Is there a solution for this?Hi,

To clarify the scenario, I think most users would have a separate mkv (or other) video file and a matching "srt" subtitle file. The bug is that neither the old Windows Media Player or the new Videos app is picking up the subtitle files on Windows 10. (The subtitle file should have the same name as the video file, except for the extension, of course). This has worked in all previous versions of Windows and media players. I tried it with mkv files only so far, not sure about the other formats.
Tip until Microsoft fixes the bug: install media player classic (bing MPC-HC), that one works as expected.

Mic414, in my case there is no .srt, the subtitles are into the .mkv file. Some of them show just fine, other do not.

I fixed in K-Lite Codec Tweak Tool:
Codec Tweak Tool > Media Foundation > disable for .mp4 and .mkv
Now subtitles work fine!

Thanks for the solution chrispale. It worked for me (Windows Media Player 12).
In order to work please note that you need external .mkv codecs. I used XP-codec pack and installed only "Matroska" codecs.
