Starting in Windows 11, version 22H2, support for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC)
is now available. You can play HEVC videos in any video app on your Windows 11
device. HEVC is designed to take advantage of hardware
capabilities on some newer
devices to support 4K and Ultra HD content. For devices that don't have hardware
support for HEVC videos, software support is provided,
but the playback experience
might vary based on the video resolution and your devices performance.
