    Unable to open HEIC files in Microsoft Photos...


    I went to the app store to load HEIF Image Extensions with no problem, then went on to read in description that it also requires the HEVC Video extensions in order to read the HEIC files in Microsoft photos, the issue is that when i go to the app store it says HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer is currently not available. Does anyone have suggestions on how I can read these files in Microsoft photos as i do my jpg, pngs, etc... ? Thank you for any help this is driving me crazy!

    :)

    How to open Apple HEIC file in windows 10 PC?

    I have transferred photos and videos from an iPhone X to the Windows 10 laptop but am unable to open the HEIC file. It displays
    install additional codices to work with this file and download codices at the Microsoft Store. But that extension is not free. Isn’t there a way to open the Apple HEIC and MOV files in Windows 10 for free, or I should download a tool from
    the Apple Store to open the HEIC and MOV files in Windows 10 PC? Thank you for your help.

    How to open .HEIC files

    I just got a bunch of photos from a friends' iPhone but I can't open them on my Windows 10. They are all encoded as .heic files:


    Unable to open HEIC files in Microsoft Photos... PIEMgOt.jpg



    If I open any of those files in the Photos app, it shows that it can't read them. If I then go into Settings and scroll down, it has this link:


    Unable to open HEIC files in Microsoft Photos... g0VX5IN.jpg


    Which opens the Store app:


    Unable to open HEIC files in Microsoft Photos... EfxmMib.jpg



    The thing that irks me is that they want money for that.

    Does anyone know how I can open those pictures without paying Microsoft more money?
