How to Update/Change KeySystems: com.microsoft.playready.2000 to 3000 for 4K media

I have a problem where Im trying to watch Netflix and disney+ in 4K but every time I try It wont go higher than 1080p. My computer is more than capable of handling 4K with ease as I Have a RTX 3070Ti Graphics Card, and an i7-14700F CPU. Im running on Windows 10 pro, My Computer is HDCP compatible, yes I am using a HDMI 2.1 cable, And I have HEVC installed. I am also connected to Ethernet and my Wifi is more than fast enough to stream 4k as it works on the 4k chromecast in the house. There is literally nothing else I can do except change my microsoft playready version to 3.0 (3000). On microsoft Edge I have looked at the other requirements to run 4k in GPU internals and I Have DRM Experiment turned on. Some help would be greatly appreciated Because This is the reason Netflix app and Edge is force using AVC instrad of HEVC.

    Microsoft and streaming services tightly control DRM versions for security reasons, and manually modifying PlayReady components is generally not recommended and can be illegal or cause system instability.
