Windows 10: I need some help with the HEVC codec.

So I just bought the HEVC video extension so that I can do things with my GoPro but whenever I put the files into Premier it says that I don't have the right codec installed but I just paid for it. I'm getting a little frustrated. I've tried installing updates and restarting my computer but the problem persists.

Installation of HEVC codec

Any attempt to install HEVC codec, purchased from MIcrosoft Store, is a failure. What can be the reason?

 

HEVC codec purchase

I purchased the HEVC codec so my family can watch videos on our media pc. Unfortunately the restricted local users (kids) can't use the codec. Surely you don't expect everyone using the pc to separately purchase this codec?

 

Windows 10 getting HEVC H.265 Codec to use Hardware Acceleration

GoPro Quik uses the codec from the store app "HEVC Video Extensions", which does not support Hardware Acceleration for desktop programs like Windows Media Player and GoPro Quik when the Computer has a dedicated graphic card. There is no solution to this problem untill either Microsoft fixed their "HEVC Video Extensions" or GoPro fixes this by using other or built in codec for HEVC.
