Windows 10: 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.

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.

 

HEIF AND HEVC Media Extensions

Hi Mylobotomy, I'm Graeme, an independent adviser here to help.

Did you purchase these media extensions through the Microsoft Store?

If so, you should be able to visit the same page you purchased them from in the Store to see the installation progress.

If you can't find it, try this link:

HEIF AND HEVC Media Extensions

Hi Mylobotomy ,

My name is Ana. I am an Independent Advisor. Thanks for contacting our support.

To know if the extensions are installed before you go on the pc to:

Settings> Apps> Apps & features.

and search the extensions list.

The only caveat about HEIF is that files using HEVC codecs requires modern hardware, such as Intel 7th Gen Core processors and newer graphics cards. Otherwise, the extension will not work as expected when playing videos.
