Windows 10: Raw image extension stopped working on windows pro N

Hi all,

Apologies if this is not the most correct group to ask some questions/help.

On my computer I have been using the extension Raw Image Extension from Microsoft so I can see the raw thumbnails from my machine on the file explorer.

Yesterday I decided to clean format my desktop and installing Windows Pro N. However now after formatting and installing again the Raw Image extension, thumbnails are not displayed on file explorer, also the Photo app can't open CR2 raw images. Previous time I did format was around Christmas 2019 and everything was working with the Raw Image Extension.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Edit:

Windows version 20H2 Build 19042.746
i7-7700k, asus z270-a, msi gtx 1060 6gb, 16gb ram, samsung 960 evo 250GB

Thanks,

Raw Image Extension

Thanks for your interest in the Raw Image Extension. You can acquire the extension to install on your devices but Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version number 1903) is required to install the extension. The Raw Image Extension adds native viewing support for
images captured in raw file formats produced by many mid- to high-end digital cameras. By installing the package, you will be able to view thumbnails and metadata of supported raw file formats right in Windows File Explorer or view images in the Photos app.
The current version of the extension supports a long list of cameras, however some Raw formats like .CR3 and .GPR are not currently supported. This package is made possible thanks to libraw open source project (LibRaw | raw image decoder). Check out LibRaw 0.20 supported cameras | LibRaw
for a list of supported cameras. Libraw library is licensed under COMMON DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION LICENSE Version 1.0 (CDDL-1.0) PLEASE NOTE – the Raw codec delivered by this extension requires changes to Windows to run. Windows 10 May 2019 Update (version
number 1903) or later is required. If you can’t install the extension, your device is running a version of Windows that does not meet the minimum Windows build number required to run the extension. Please consider upgrading your device to the latest version
of Windows to install the extension. PLEASE NOTE – the extension is NOT an app – you can’t interact directly with it. It installs an OS codec plugin used by Windows apps including File Explorer and Photos to decode raw images. Please use File Explorer to view
thumbnails or Photos app to view your raw images from supported cameras after installing the extension.

Camera codec pack on windows 10 to view RAW files

Hi Marjan,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



Ideally, the RAW images created by the cameras need their own software or extensions to work on Windows 10. The Raw Image Extension adds native viewing support for images captured in raw file formats produced by many mid- to high-end digital
cameras. By installing the package, you will be able to view thumbnails and metadata of supported raw file formats right in Windows File Explorer or view images in the Photos app. You may install the
Raw Image Extension from the Microsoft
Store and see if it helps.



If the issue persists, I suggest you to get in touch with the Nikon support and see if they can help you with the software or plugin to access RAW files.



Regards,
