Uninstalling HEVC Video Extensions from Windows 11
Hello
I have installed HEVC Video Extensions in my Windows 11 device and having some problem with Netflix and I want to uninstall the HEVC Video Extensions but the issue is I can't find it in control panel or App setting.
anyone have any idea how to uninstall it.
- Microsoft store packages are usually APPX format installations (HEVC Video Extensions is installed as APPX package)
You will need to use PowerShell with administrative privileges.
- Execute following command in powershell, it will list all the APPX packages installed on the system.
Get-AppxPackage | select Name,PackageFullName,NonRemovable
- Go thru the list and find the HEVC package in the list, in my case it was named Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension_1.0.42701.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
- Next execute following command to uninstall this package:
Remove-AppxPackage <package name>
e.g. Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension_1.0.42701.0_x86__8wekyb3d8bbwe
this will uninstall the package.
Now you can again go to microsoft store and install the package. - What device? PC? Software or Browser?
- I have Laptop running Windows 11
- Can't say for sure, but check these out:
1. Window 10 Settings app. Search Apps & Features.
2. Chec for an uninstall file in the program directory. c:\program files\..
3. Open Registry (regedit). Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
4. Third Party Software Uninstaller?
- Bonjour, j'écris ceci en Français, j'espère que la traduction fonctionnera. Est-ce que vous vous souvenez de comment avez vous installé les extensions HVEC ?
