*BUG REPORT* Win 10 Fall Creator's update broke HEVC support in Films/Movies & TV app
GPU is a Nvidia GTX1060 6gb with the latest drivers, changing drivers, aka, rolling back, did not help. Running the windows media troubleshooter did not help.
Win 10 Pro version: 1709
Build: 16299.15
GPU drivers: Used to work before the update with 387.92, did not after the update. I tried rolling back to 385.41 and updating to 388.00, both failed to solve the problem, everything else works perfectly as far as I am aware.
Would you kindly hunt down and kill this bug please? Thanks!

The only way that works for me is to play it in PowerDirector that I use for editing.

The decoder now resides in extension you need to additionally install from Store.
Installing it basically returns the missing piece of the software (specifically, Movies & TV player would play H.265/HEVC footage), however other introduced changes might still be breaking for third party software.
