Associate MP4 video to Media Player in Windows 11

I'm trying to associate my MP4 videos to open in Media Player but I can't find the EXE file when I click browse.

 

I have found the legacy Windows Media Player (wmplayer.exe) in...

C:\Program Files\Windows Media Player

 

But, where do I browse to for the new Media Player app? 

 

Thanks!

Since the new Media Player app seems to be hidden from associationw, the only way I could find to change it was to:

1: Disableor uninstall Legacy Player.

2: Reset all associations in Bridge.  😐

Thank you so much - that was winding me up something special!

 

A note on uninstalling - it's not in the Apps list but under 'System > Optional Features' in the Settings App.
