Hi all,
I recently found out that my fairly fresh Win10 installation cannot mount any ISO files (which are totally fine because other tools can open and extract them) whatsoever. When I try to do this in Windows Explorer or in the PowerShell, for several minutes, nothing at all seems to happen before I get an error message. The explorer just says there was a problem mounting the file; PowerShell writes the following:
Mount-DiskImage D:\tmp\90f226a1-3cad-4bd7-a047-fc0609afcbab.iso
Mount-DiskImage : The semaphore timeout period has expired.
At line:1 char:1
+ Mount-DiskImage D:\tmp\90f226a1-3cad-4bd7-a047-fc0609afcbab.iso
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (MSFT_DiskImage ...torageType = 1):ROOT/Microsoft/.../MSFT_DiskImage) [Mou
nt-DiskImage], CimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : HRESULT 0x80070079,Mount-DiskImage
The OS in question is a Win10 pro (1909, build 18363.900, latest patches, 2004 is not available for my machine yet); as far as I know, this hasn't worked since I freshly installed the PC back in April.
What I've done so far:
but nothing seems to work. How can I get my Win10 installation to open ISO files?
Any new/further ideas are appreciated. I've seen posts claiming to solve this error for older Win10 versions, but not for 1909, and none of the "solutions" I've found so far work for me.

What I've done so far:
- I disabled the anti-virus,
- have checked that ISO files are still associated with windows and not some third-party tool,
- checked that the 2TB NTFS SSD is okay,
- copied the ISO files to different locations,
but nothing seems to work. How can I get my Win10 installation to open ISO files?
