How To View/Open HEVC H.265 and HEIF/HEIC Files On Windows 10

How to open/play hevc h.265 videos and view heif/heic image files on Windows 10 free, download the hevc codec h.265 for windows 10 free from Microsofts official website. #HEVC #HEIF #HEIC

I DO apologize they NO longer offer HEVC for free as I stated in the video. It NOW cost $0.99. Below are the latest links that I could find to help any of you out on Microsoft's website.

SORRY everyone looks like HEVC in the Microsoft store is ***NOT FREE*** to download anymore. You might have to pay $0.99 cents for it now since they update it. I apologize as it use to be FREE when I did this

Do I have to backup my phone when I switch my phone to a new phone ? Will I lose my photos and contacts? I have an 8 and switching to iPhone 11

Thank you explaining the file format. Good video

As of June 2023, M$soft has reverted to a pay model for this codec again...So as a workaround I just installed VLC Player.

[faitharooo]

I downloaded the extensions but my PC still won't open the files :/

[ericdillonii]

I followed all directions and now the video loads up but the sound is like a loud gust of wind non-stop....

Jamie, nice vid, and nice lookin' out! Unfortunately, this method doesn't work for me [and lots of others]

I got a GoPro Hero 9 a few weeks ago, and have yet to be able to use it..
My two computers are ASUS ROG G752 laptops, and neither would open H.265 formatted files..
More infuriating, Sony Vegas won't even recognize/import them for editing/re-formatting..
I've jumped through all the hoops on/off for weeks, and Microsoft [the scum of the earth]
is not getting a cent from me, so 'buying' a codec is out of the question..
These links to the 'free' version never work, as with others, I'm/we're not getting a download link..
Instead, it's a re-direct to a screen that says: "Redeem your code or gift card"
They require a 25 character 'code' which seems to be more illusive than Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster..
[I've tried using 3 confirmed/official e-mail accounts & 3 Microsoft accounts, and have yet to receive a code.
It's pathetic that in 2020, we're having to deal with s**t like this.]
In the past month, I've dropped well over a grand for a Hero 7 and Hero 9, accessories, etc.
and I shouldn't have to add on a brand new computer now just to use them..
* I was able to find / install a program that converts H.265 to H.264 - for viewing/editing,
but that's beside the point, and it is a complete waste of time..
Frustrated & Furious pretty much sums it up at this point. **Sigh**

Any other help/info/ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Til' then, I'll try my best not to smash all of this stuff into pieces. haha
