Windows 10: HEIF image Extension intalled via Microsoft App store still cant open HEIC pictures.

I've tried resetting the app. Windows 10 is fully updated. Trying to open pictures from external hard drive of HEIC format and it says "We cant open this file."

:)

 

I still can't view HEIC files despite installing Microsoft HEIF Image Extensions from the Microsoft Store

I installed the Microsoft HEIF Image Extensions and the Video extension too from the Microsoft Store, but when I try to open my HEIC photos it comes up with "Download codecs from Microsoft store"...

Is there a fix?

 

HEIF Image Extensions

My Samsung S10 creates .heic pics and I have installed the HEIF image extensions from MS-Store.

I get no confirmation, only this: "Thank you. We're attempting to install on your device"

My pics is still not visible in W10. Doubleclicking displays the same old msg; "You need to install codecs from MS Store"

I then installed the iMazing HEIC-converter and get this msg: "Some files where not recognized as valid HEIC-files".

(My .heic files are downloaded from Google Photo w10 File Explorer).

Is the HEIF image extensions not installed or is my Samsung S10 producing incompatible files?

ps: I have now disabled the HEIC-saving in S10 and new pics will be stored as jpeg.
