Hack Windows 10 & Download HEVC Codec FREE TechTip 👨💻

- ⚠️ 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 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 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. This codec shipped with Windows 10 originally but was later removed by Microsoft hoping they could get you to buy it back. Shame on you Microsoft for scamming your loyal Windows users 😡

It still takes me to the MS Store but they lie and tell me that the app won't work on my device. I'm actually having issues with HEVC while trying to do video editing with Pinnacle Studio 26. Any suggestions?
Free HEVC needs a code in 2020. This video no longer valid without it.
Anyone watching this on an 8k TV? This is my first upload I've ever done at 8k resolution 😉 4320p Baby!
Nice
So, Microsoft can remove any feature of the OS any time they feel like it, and then charge you to get it back?
Sounds pretty shady.

You're a lifesaver Jerry. They literally ripped HEVC out to sell it back literally to nickel and dime us. Nice to know there's a workaround 👌
Hey Barnacules,
I hope you see this message, I'm the manager for a computer and phone repair store. I just so happen to get a new toy of a laser machine made for removing the rear glass of the new iPhones. Apple decided they wanted to use heat resistant glue so you cannot simply heat the back off for removal, like you can with androids. I would absolutely love to fix that cracked back for you! I've followed you for years and since you provided so much information to me that I'd love to give something back! I'll cover all repair and shipping cost if you are interested.
I can confirm this. The laser machine, mixed with replacement back glass that has a larger hole for the rear camera is the cheapest method for replacing it.
I have done several by hand with a heat gun, the heated plate method at 250 C°, the laser machine, and full frame swaps.
I personally liked the frame swaps like they do at Apple as it is easier to reseal the phone but for cheaper the laser machine does great.
Good guy Rendaime. Hope B sees this :)
I missed your videos. I haven't been recommended them in a very long time, many months even thought I used to watch your videos regularly. Good to see your videos again since it was recommended.
So this is windows microtransactions begins.
Please Jerry be back for good this time. I need you in my life man. I need that dirty, funny chill talk you give me. Makes me happy.
I'll do my best Billy!
Thanks for the tip Jerry! Already have it installed! You literally paid for my patreon sub this month :)
Thanks for being a Patron sir!
i spent an hour and a half downloading stuff for fixes and this one solved all my problems a little under a year later. THANK YOU!
thanks again, love having you back and making vids like these. Keep it up man!
Thank you Jerry! Happy to see you making videos again.
Microsoft is giving a even better reason to switch to VLC.
Never seen your channel before, not sure how or why you popped up in my recommendations but I'm bloody glad you did. Very informative and definitely entertaining. Great fun.
Oh wow, that worked a charm, thanks Jerry! I wish you would make videos more often, i miss seeing your craziness
I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft pulls this from the store by the end of the week.
If they do I'm going to just change the link to a 3rd party site to grab a free codec.

I uploaded this video in 8k30, it's crazy how long UA-cam takes to process it to full resolution.
Any other useful apps / codecs / fronts, etc. we can get for free via the "from Device Manufacturer" store? Thanks for the tip.
You're a f'n legend Barnacules!! Cheers for the heads up mate. Also, when are you going to reveal who the little guy with the squeaky voice is? :p
I'm in the UK and tried your link and it asked me to connect to the UK store, which I did and got the download link and IT WAS FREE !!
So downloaded and installed and hey presto all working. Thanks for highlighting this MS omission.
Thanks Jerry, I created a shortcut to your video for archiving in my support folder, I know darn well I will need this again later, and I will save myself the "senior moment" frustration by checking that folder's contents... David ;-)
Awesome! I need that folder 😎
I'm really happy to see you're posting fairly regularly to youtube again! I hope things are going a bit better for you. I really hope to watch some more mornin' coffee streams if/when you get back into it!
I just subscribed to your channel while laughing LMAO. I was one of the probably many that actually paid the 99 cents. Thanks for the great video and keep them coming.
I like your sense of humor, and the great info! Subscribed!
I am so disgusted with microshaft's behavior and ethics lately....
That is why, I generally run linux now...
Unfortunately, there are some things which I have to run sindows 10 for, so, thank you for helping fix this problem, I didn't even know had been created.
Your humor gained you not a dollar but my subscription 👍
Hey Barnacules. Thank you so much for this. My laptop suddenly asked for this code after formatting and I don't know what to do. Fortunately, I saw your video and it fixed it.
Thank you so much, I thought I lost all the videos I recorded with my Galaxy S10 that I had to switch the HE off. Great video.
BEST PRE-CHRISTMAS PRESENT EVER!!! We need to call you Barnaclaus...
Wow, Imagine having to pay for a video codec, on an OS that you *BOUGHT*, that also installs random *3rd party* crap on your system, without asking your permission, shows advertisements, and collects your data, with virtually no way to turn it off.
I want to give you a BIG THANK YOU!!! To say I was irritated would be an understatement when I could not view my videos from our vacation. I will share your site with family and friends!
Good to see you back in action, J. I loathe Windows but still got a kick out of this one. Future video topic: Raspberry Pi 4 has a single lane PCIe to facilitate USB 3.0 but some clever souls have ripped off the VL805 chip to access the PCIe connections underneath and wire in a real PCIe slot externally. I wanna see your take on that. Do you think there could be a third party mod soon where the PCIe channel is brought out but leave the VL805 intact?
I wish people wouldn't get so upset when I re-share some old videos when they are so helpful to new people that didn't see them the last time I shared them. I wish people would think more globally and not so much just from a single perspective. I get that it's hard though! I'm glad I could save so many of you $1.
This really helped me a lot! Thanks!
apparently this no longer works....it asks for you to redeem a code now, so it appears you have to pay?
HA! What a coincidence! I was prompted to buy the codec yesterday, while editing on my new setup, but I did not buy it. Just got it via your link now:) Rendertime went from 3 minutes down to 1 minute on that clip I was working on!
OMG!!! It worked Ilysm!! Lots of love and prayers!!
VLC can play HVEC since a long time and it's free. There's no reason to ever have to deal with the windows movie&tv app.
Did you even watch the video?

Oh my! It worked. You saved me thank you so very much.
I just did it! it worked for me! :) Many Thanks! Friendly suggestion! make videos shorter and straight forward. THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR KNOWLEDGE! Ended up subscribing to your channel!
Another thing Microsoft done is remove 5.1audio output from some hardware. I can't enable 5.1 audio out on the optical out on my MSI X470 Gaming plus. I can't enable 7.1 audio on my TurtleBeach Z260 either. Until Windows 10 1903 I was able to enable 7.1 audio on my headset but the option is no longer there.
I tried different drivers for my motherboard audio but I can't enable 5.1 audio on the sound out. Its just showing stereo out when I select configure audio.
That's bizarre, I'm still able to get 5.1 working with a Realtek chip
@@RaaynML I have 5.1 audio using the audio jacks but not the optical out. I use optical because it gives better audio out.
@@citycultivator2101 My original post said it was removed from "SOME" hardware. I did not say all hardware. I had DTS and SOLBY Digital Live with my old Asus Xonar II soundcard with 1903 too but thats a PCI card and my new motherboard doesn't have any PCI slots
I did not pay for the movie, what makes them think I would pay for a codec.
I've never seen a more complete and helpful description box
Dude this actually worked! thank you so much I video a lot on my iPhone XR and it gets annoying when I can't either upload them or can't see em or open em up & now seeing this not only did I not pay that dollar I got it for free! thanks bro! now I can video tape and upload as much as I want!
"Im not gonna spend $1 on a codec"
He says with a Titan X on his desk
Actually it's (2) Titan Xp's with a bridge installed, the 2080 Super's are in the computer 😉
I definitely had H.265 back when I was trying to upgrade my HTPC to 4K Blurays. The PC uses my old parts from 2009 and the copy protection made everything useless so it wasn't as simple as a GFX upgrade. Anyway I got a standalone player so I have no idea if I still have H.265, I'd better check because I'd like to incorporate 4k playback back in at some point. Thanks for pointing this out.
You're very welcome, spread the word!
hi Barnacules, I have been watching your videos for a long time and I was wondering if you could do more programming videos. I really liked the Codegasm vids
cheers mate works like a charm , spend 2 days searching how to fix it you managed to do it in 2 mins
Not any more now you must sign in and buy it or provide a 25 character code to get it
Thank you so much for posting this video, buddy. Really appreciate the help!! Keep up the good work :)
dude I have all the episodes of South Park downloaded on my pc, a few months back they all stopped working for no reason. 100GB worth of nothing. xd now I finally found the problem, thanks to you. Thanks!! :D
Microsoft had found this out and changed it to "redeem with code". Which I didn't expect them to catch on.
I blame Barnacle Boy.
@@Mario583a I doubt that he would do that on purpose. But I guess it took a while for Microsoft to find that out.
Mhh.. I'll guess i'll stick with VLC Media Player then
@@punch3n3ergy37 I was fortunate of getting one.
if you didn't get it before the change than no you wont be able to get it for free since i was one of the lucky people to that where i dont have to pay for it

Thank you Hayden! Adding this to the video description now!
DUDE this was so good haha you saved me, videos are pretty good man, keep it up.
why is it that I've only just now found your channel?!
btw, I love your setup...
On the one hand, I think it's stupid that companies put glass backs on the back of their phones. On the other hand, don't feel sorry for anyone who doesn't put their phone in a case.
i like my phone without a case. why make it thinner if you stick a 3mm case to it? often you can't even see the back of the phone, considering how flashy they are making them nowadays
It works, you have to find the link provided in the comments below. start of 2021, find the comment with 14+ replies
Thank for the tip, I even let the add at the end of the video play till the end, I was so great full. 👍🏼
It takes less than two minutes to donwload and install, it works perfect. I just saved $1.
Excellent content, great job.
VLC, Klite, CCCP, default app ?! people still use those? use MPV
and add:
vd-lavc-dr=yes
vd-lavc-threads=16
profile=gpu-hq
to the config file
I ♥ this comment since you're the first person to show the configuration changes to get MPV to utilize hardware acceleration and multiple threads which isn't on by default. That being said though it still won't do HDR or Dolby Atmos.
You just saved me a dollar, good sir. Thanks!
My dude, thank you so much. I was trying to look at photos of my now-deceased dog and when the $0.99 prompt popped up I was so upset. This worked perfectly.
OMG I'm glad I saw your video, this helped me a lot. Even if I tried to pay .99 cents to Microsoft it won't allow me because I am not from the US. I subs and liked your channel now.
Is there any way to make an offline backup of the codec install file from the microsoft store?.
HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer is currently not available.
im so happy. this is my first 2 or 3 hour long research session that have been a success in a while.
That ACTUALLY WORKED! THANKS! I'M GONNA SUBSCRIBE!
Windows must be smart to this. All I can see is "HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer is currently not available", and "redeem a code"
any result?
@@IeuanAlli nah. Windows will not allow me to get to that free download at all. I went through another program, but it's excruciatingly slow.
@@jeremygarcia3506 Even i am having the same issue, very first that i enter the website it says REDEEM the code an it doesnt allow me to skip the sign in, can someone please help me. I use KMP player to play my videos.

I saw the thumbnail/title and thought it was some weird clickbait, then after the into, realized that I'd forgotten MS charges for this!
WHAT THE ACTUAL F*. I just forget because I remove/replace it immediately after a fresh install.
Thank you for making this more known!
I sometime skip long video and this one I watched full. Thanks for this. I was looking for a very good solution and this video really helped.
didnt need it when i saw it, now that i do, cant download it

Thank you . Prior to installing Encoding all my main processors were involved but now the graphics card was involved
Nice, first link working, thanks man!
Thank you for saving me a dollar Jerry!
That’s actually pretty disgusting of Microsoft to do. It was already shipped with Windows 10 to begin with. Why remove it and force us to pay a dollar to get it back. I know it’s not that big of a deal, with it being one dollar, but my gosh, this is just a shady business practice. HEVC is the way of the future for videography! 😄
You know... with Windows 10 beeing "free" ? (is it still?)
It is likely they remove more stuff from time to time, that you need to download, either bundled with an app or standalone, and... You need to pay everytime.
//My opinion!
thank you man, I am very grateful for this. and you now have another loyal subscriber. Keep fighting the good fight man. Even if you are an Apple user....
you deserve thanks, thumbs up and a slap on the left ear for taking 8 minutes to release the info. thanks again
This no longer works. I have been adding this to Windows 10 Enterprise until today. It now wants you to redeem a code. Is there a way around this. The more micosoft degrades its product the more I want to move on from Windows altogether. This is total BS.
Did you figure out how to get past the redeem code issue
it says redeem a code too.. did u figure out another way?
It's actually still possible to download the codec for free. Just search google for adguard microsoft store and click on adguard store. Then copy the link from the microsoft store page and paste it into the website and download the first appx file for x64 (was the 4th one for me) or whatever your architecture is. Then open the downloaded appx file to install it and then you should have the codec installed.
Mason Marchant omg thank you so much it actually worked!!!
@@YouVideo85 thanku soo much it just worked
just use our old traffic cone friend, VLC. It's made from a country where it isn't illegal to distribute decoders, and, although they say that you are supposed to pay to the people before playing any H265 content, you can just kind of ignore that one entry in their manual page. lol
VLC is amazing and even linked in the video description. However, the built in codec supports HDR which I use down stairs playing back stuff on the Windows Store netflix app and the Movies & TV app and plus it heavily utilizes the GPU which I found VLC was a bit more CPU heavy out of the box. But it's still amazing and I recommend it to anyone that can't figure out what codec they need. I would stay away from the K-Lite codec packs though, they tend to drag down performance and cause issues with Explorer when generating thumbnails.
Architector #4 I still use vlc to this day for my video files and as my dvd player if I choose to.
@@Barnacules
I have no issues using any version of MPC including K-Lite Codecs. Not sure what you mean by drag down performance, since it's the fastest video player i've found (only one that can play back 1080p HEVC videos on a celeron laptop smoothly, VLC cannot on the same machine and video)
You have no idea how happy it made me when I saw that you had uploates a video. Nice to see you Jerry, hope you're doing ok.
Dude you were amazing. You just save my 1 dollar. Thanks. Already subscribe and like the video!
Barnacules Nerdgasm
: Today I'm gonna show how to save you a buck not buying the windows h.265 codec.
Windows guys: *Wait. That's illegal!*
Barnacules Nerdgasm
: No that's not illegal becuase you have it on the windows store.
Widows guys: *...*
Now we just need someone to get the DVD codec without the $10 app.
Jerry! Good to see you dude!
1$ Saved from me!! Thanks!! :) Also I noticed that Premiere Pro was very sluggish to work with h.265 files, where my CPU would freeze on 100% just waiting for the timeline to scrub... This continued, though, even after installing the codec, even on FHD files ( I don't know why they were in h.265 to begin with, just a client sent them)
mine is not installing, just keep on downloading for a very long time now :( what to do?
TY, I saved $0.99 !!
Thank you so much! This was really helpful! I have been struggling with this from hours and then I found this informative video of yours! Big Love
Great video Jerry! Noticed you're using a Sony camcorder. What model is that? Really like your video quality and am planning to upgrade the camera I use for me own channel!
Multi-cam: I think it's nice. Feed my ADD.
Tutorials: I like watching you do things. Why not? Show us. The more video you make, the less I have to watch you through your curtains O.o
Sir this is not working as of today 7th Oct 2020 it is asking for Redeem Code, i guess these guys have shut the hole last month as i can see that people who have used the same trick in the month of Aug & Sept 2020 were able to successfully do it.
Which I find super annoying because I'm about to do a fresh install of Windows once the October Update becomes available to download via the Microsoft Tool.
And I do need that codec, as I record gameplay footage using HEVC from my AMD card and then edit it in Davinci Resolve.
3:57 "Apple thinks we're stupid... and I bought their phone"
lol 😂 priceless 👍😀
Oh man you are a genious!
I can now watch 4k content on my gtx970 that has hybrid support for h265
Thank you man!!
