⚠️ IMPORTANT UPDATE: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION ⚠️ I would like to inform you that Microsoft has recently decided to discontinue the availability of the free version of the codec on the Microsoft Store. This decision comes after several years of being aware of my video, during which they finally realized the reason behind the declining popularity of the codec. It's quite amusing, isn't it? 🤣 However, this development should not cause significant distress, as there are alternative options to fulfill your video playback needs. One highly recommended solution is to download Video Lan Media Player (VLC), a versatile media player that offers a wide range of built-in adaptive codecs. Whether you're dealing with cutting-edge formats or obscure vintage files, VLC has got you covered 😈. To ensure a secure download, make sure to visit the official website at https://www.videolan.org/vlc/. Additionally, if you possess an RTX card from Nvidia, you can take advantage of VLC's support for Nvidia's AI upscaling feature 👍. Nonetheless, if your intention is to obtain codecs that allow you to use any media player of your choice, I suggest installing the K-LITE codec pack, available for download at https://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm. With this pack, you can customize your selection according to your preferences, starting from the standard pack containing commonly used codecs, all the way up to the ultimate pack, encompassing a vast array of codecs you could ever imagine. If you found the information provided in this video description helpful, I kindly request you to reach out to me on Twitter @barnacules and share your feedback. Your support motivates me to continue updating legacy videos in the future, ensuring that they remain relevant and useful to all viewers 🤗. --- Old Description --- Windows 10 HEVC H.265 Video Codec Now Costs $1 on Microsoft Store but with this Hack you can get it for FREE by going directly to the hidden MS Store PC Builder link that provides the same exact codec for free.
