could you please enable AV1 playback in .webm (edit: playback via dragging the file into the browser) like Chrome has? it also utilizes dav1d 0.9.0+ which beats the pants off the Windows Store AV1 decoder for Movies & TV which i assume nobody on these MS forums is associated with or can directly communicate with...
attached is good ole Big Buck Bunny from one of the r/AV1 Discord's 8MB challenges (stuff various resolution/length videos into 8MB, which is Discord's free tier file attachment limit) @ HAV1T. it is AV1 video codec + Opus audio codec in webm (subset of the mkv spec).

the performance is terrible (don't think it's been updated in over a year or year and a half?). can't even play 10 bit 1080p smoothly on a Ryzen 3600 with the MS Store video extension, whereas you can play it on an AVXless (Haswell gen) Pentium G3258 (2c2t) with a recent MPC-BE or mpv. there have been at least 3 major updates with regards to speed since last december or so with dav1d.

i'm very much capable of playing it. my previous non-gaming rig, a 2400G, could play 10-bit 1080p on maybe 4-8% CPU usage ...with a media player with an up to date dav1d. i can't remember what my CPU usage was on a 3600 (under 6% i believe), but suffice to say, MPC-HC and mpv could play it fine, whereas Movies & TV with the AV1 extension couldn't.
also, the AMD 6000 series can play it too, so i'm struggling to disable the hardware decoding to simulate the playback of someone without a this-year, overpriced GPU in Movies & TV
