Windows 10: HEVC extensions

Microsoft downloaded HEIF and HEVC extensions to my laptop recently, but only HEIF was downloaded to my PC. Why do I have to pay for HEVC extensions for my PC?

HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer

Thanks for the reply. I am not refering to the HEVC Video Extensions you listed in the link.

I am refering to the HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer linked below.

Why is it no longer available? Does MS plan to make it available again? It was available up until about a month ago.

Cannot install HEVC Video Extensions

Hello,

I bought the HEVC Video Extensions for Windows 10. I am logged in to my computer with my Microsoft account and I see my computer in the "Devices" list of my Microsoft account. When I click on "Install on device" on the HEVC Video Extension page I get this
message "It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. To install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account.". What am I doing wrong?
