Windows 10: HEIC Files

First time I've downloaded photos from the wife's new iphone. I've read all the help and downloaded the CODECS etc. Still cannot read HEIC files. Windows 10 latest updates etc etc. I thought technology was supposed to make our lives easier?

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.

It should work, it does for me. Try Fabler2's suggestion in post #6 and reset the app.

You could also see if you can open known good sample .heic pictures, like the sample1.heic seen above that I got from here:

Tried resetting (twice). It did not work.

I also tried uninstalling (so that I could reinstall). But that doesn't work.

saple1.heic did not work either.




I'm trying to avoid installing Irfan or the other suggestions. I may end up liking that. But I don't need any high end image applications and I don't want too much clutter. As it stands, systems nowadays already have multiple applications which try to vie for each file type and I want to stick to one or the other, preferably the defaults. But it looks like I may have to do so.
