Windows 10: Can't move seek bar in windows 11 media player

The seek bar at the bottom is grayed out and so is the 10 second skip back along with the 30 second skip forward. It also won't tell me how long the video is. This is a recording from my desktop so it's 14GBs. Maybe the file size has something to do with it.

Windows Media Player 11 misses release day

Microsoft had scheduled Windows Media Player 11 for final release on October 24th, 2006. Microsoft has delayed release of the next version of its media player to an unspecified date. "As with any release, quality is our top priority, and we felt we needed a few additional days to bring Windows Media Player 11 up to the high quality standards we--and our customers and partners--demand." Microsoft did not mention exactly what part of Windows Media Player 11 didn't meet the bar. Microsoft has no defined date of when Windows Media Player 11 will be released, though rumors around the internet claim that Microsoft will release it on October 30th.
