    Cannot mount ISO file in Windows 11


    My laptop came with Windows 11 Pro.It will not mount an ISO file.I've right-clicked, selected "mount", get the spinning wheel for a while, then get a message that there is an error mounting the file.Tried right-clicking and selecting Open With... Windows Explorer. Same result.Tried disabling 'Check Apps and Files' under "Windows Security/Reputation Based Protection". Doesn't work.The file CAN be opened in VLC or other app when it's a video file, so it is not the file tried several.The files also mount fine on my other PC which has Windows 10.

    Error when mounting ISO files

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand when you are trying to delete/rename/move the ISO files after mounting it you get an error message. It could be possible that the ISO file is mounted and that is the reason you are unable to modify it.



    I suggest you to eject the ISO file and then try to modify it. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows key + E, to open
      File Explorer      .
    2. Click on This PC on the left pane, you will find the mounted ISO file.
    3. Right click on the ISO file and click on Eject. Try modifying the ISO file now.


    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,
