HEIC file viewing

Hi suedama,

My name is Douglas and I am an Independent Advisor. I would like to help you. Let's try to install the following extension, please:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/heif-image-ex...

"To open the HEIC image, go to the Windows store link to get the HEIF extension here.

View HEIC & HEVC files on Windows 10 Photos app

Click on the Install button to install the HEIF codec.

It is important to note that, users would be needed to install both HEIF extension as well as HEVC extension to view images and play videos, as, HEIF files with HEIC file extension are compressed using HEVC format. It is mandatory to install both the extension
and installing a HEIC file extension alone without HEVC extension would fail to view .HEIC files images"

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.
