Windows 10: HEIF AND HEVC Media Extensions

I purchased the above mentioned extensions from Microsoft and got a message from them saying they were attempting to install them on 3 of my pc's.

I haven't heard anything in half an hour. How do i tell if they are installed.

heif image extension - windows 10 1803

I tried to download the image exension from the microsoft store for both hevc and heif. The hevc one installed, but the heif image extension says i own it, it won't let me uninstall it, but it shows an ! in the store entry, and it doesn't work.

It does not show up in the apps listing nor in the control panel programs and features... I can't view HEIC files, it gives a link to download the "codec" from the microsoft store, which doesn't work.

I have a different windows 10 machine where these work fine... it's my main production machine that is failing.

I don't know what to try next.

 

Opening HEIF files and HEVC Videos on Windows 10

Very impressed with Apple being the first to adopt HEIF and HEVC on iOS 11. Only problem is, no other platform seems to support it as of now.

Even though HEVC is supported on Windows 10 out of the box, the videos don't actually plan in any app on Windows 10.

HEIF is not supported at all.

Does anyone know of any apps or programs that would let me play HEIF and iOS 11 HEVC videos on Windows? Or maybe a codec pack?

Note: I do not want to convert these images and videos while exporting to Windows; want to keep them in their native formats.

Win 10 Photos App does not index/display HEIC files - installed apps HEVC video Extensions and HEIF Image Extensions

Restarted photos app several times and refreshed, but the HEIC files in the same folders as JPG files do not show up in the photos app. They dont even show up as grey/blank photos. The photos are from an iPhoneX and were imported by the photos app.

The HEIF files open in the photos app when i double click on the files and windows explorer also successfully shows the preview for the files.

I am running the latest windows 10 (regular channel) and installed the recommended HEVC and HEIF apps yesterday from the app store. I have also restarted the PC after installing the HEVC/HEIF apps. Hardware is Dell Precision tower 5810.

Not sure how to proceed.

Thank you
