I support only .ISO files on Windows 11 without additional software. That’s why I’m sticking with DAEMON Tools Lite.

It seems the way BIN/CUE files are managed varies across programs, while ISO files adhere strictly to the ISO9660 standard. This difference can make it harder for Microsoft to integrate them smoothly in Windows File Explorer. For details, consult a Microsoft Developer with expertise in File Explorer. References: Wikipedia on Cue sheets and ISO 9660.

ISOs function as a filesystem that can be opened and mounted straightforwardly. bin/cue is typically employed for disc images containing more than just a data filesystem—such as audio tracks or supplementary data files that aren’t standard filesystems or compatible with Windows mounting. In such cases, simulating a real CD drive that accesses these components via the conventional CD format is necessary.
