Hello. Recently I'm facing some odd difficulties when trying to install ISO files on Windows 11. Before there were no problems at all. When attempting to mount the ISO, two distinct errors appear: First, "Windows can't access this disc, the disc may be corrupt. Ensure the disc uses a format recognized by Windows. If it's unformatted, you'll need to format it before use." Second, after mounting, only a small part of the file appears. For example, a 12 GB ISO shows up as 123 MB in the virtual drive and doesn't function properly when run. I've checked every possible solution online, but none have worked. I haven't installed or changed anything recently except for Windows updates. No malware detected. It seemed to work fine until late February 2022. Using third-party tools like PowerISO seems to resolve the issue without problems. Anyone have any advice? Thanks.
