How to Download HEVC Video Extension for Free

Microsoft doesn't release HEVC Video Extensions as an .exe. It only comes as a Store app package (.appx/.appxbundle). The steps in this guide show how to get that package and install it by double-clicking it, no Store account needed.

Please don't install an HEVC ".exe" from a stranger. That's a classic way malware gets passed around. If you just need to play HEVC videos, VLC or MPC-HC play them without any extension. We've removed your email address from the comment to protect you from spam.
