    Error when trying to open HEIC files, HELP!


    Error when trying to open HEIC files, HELP! _jd0L_QU7GUMA0_tSknn0b0nEMPxP3uBrLGMOTiaf5I.jpg

    I have a lot of pictures to go through, and a lot of them are HEIC files. Windows 'Photos' app was having a terrible time dealing with them, so I tried a few other photo management programs. I decided to stick with XnView, and uninstalled the other two I tried. After I uninstalled them, I started getting this error an time I tried to open a HEIC file with any program.

    Now I can't view the HEIC photos at all. I suspect one of the programs that I uninstalled has goofed up something in the registry or some such thing, but I don't have the software engineering degree required to fix it (and google didn't help much, either!)

    What I've tried:

    Restarting.

    Uninstalling and reinstalling XnView

    Restarting again.

    Would like to avoid using a restore point if possible.

    TIA!

    HEIC file viewing

    I have the HEIC Image extensions and the HEVC video extensions on my Windows 10 PC but the TWINUI application will still not open the HEIC file. Any suggestions?

    I have tried converting it to JPG using the APowersoft application but it downloads the file to a location that does not seem to exist on my PC - "...Users/[user name]\AppData\temp...

    Thanks.

    Hi Edward,

    We need more information about your concern. Are you trying to convert and open other image format to HEIC? If yes, a certain program will be needed to open that kind of file, we suggest checking the Windows Store for programs that can convert other image
    format to HEIC. Make sure to download the program with the highest rating and good reviews.

    Regards.
