Since all Windows are always installed from a clean image, I lost the codec when I upgraded from 1703 to 1809. I use third party tools all the time to add back functionality M$ keeps taking out of Windows (Shellfolderfix, oldnewexplorer, open shell menu etc).Īs to why I will never allow store on any PC here - the same reason I disable telemetry and remove all M$ bloatware from the image before Windows is installed. My point was that I didn't ask about third party codecs. Scott I have nothing against 3rd party codecs. If you don't have access to Ms Store (weird, why?), I'm afraid you are out of luck trying to go down this road.Īnd contrary to what you might think, there is nothing wrong with using 3rd part codecs, particularly the opensource variety or the legit licensed variety. That is designed that way on purpose, so that they can monetize yes, but also so that they can curate and hold makers to a high standard of quality (of coding) and security. The legit MS codecs are ONLY Ms Store apps, so they are only available from the MS Store, and unless I am very much mistaken, redirection/proxy addresses are NOT allowed when installing those kinds of apps. My question was "where can I download the MICROSOFT package (I don't believe I asked for a third party package)", not "can you please point out how much of an ignorant noob I am". If the answer is "You cannot have support for HEVC unless you download it from the M$ store - It is not available anywhere else on the planet" then that is the answer. What happened when you looked at a folder full of MKVs then? And after they added support for MKV? How did it look then? I guess no one remembers when M$ did not have support for MKV or AVC or H264 (or Whatever you want to call it), built into the OS. If we're going to get rude then let's just drop it. Installing a codec does not add "native support", regardless of whatever you may think. Only MS can add "native support", which means it's built into the OS framework. And you seem not to understand what "native support" means. Why are you installing a "codec"? The reason is in the thread's title.
