The Windows 10 Codec Pack is a free easy to install bundle of codecs/filters/splitters used for playing back movie and music files. After installation you will be able to play 99.9% of files. As you probably have read, Microsoft removed the MPEG-2 codes from windows 8/8.1/10. And as Windows 10 does not have the possibility to add the media center, you cannot add the codec. Microsoft said they did so because of the high costs they have licensing the patents for MPEG-2.
Hi,
Microsoft did at one time provide most needed codecs.. until Media Center was discontinued..
- Free download K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 9.8.5 for Windows 10. A fully functional version of KL Codec Software. K-Lite Mega Codec Pack contains a very large number of codecs and additional tools. It allows you to both play and encode all popular audio file formats currently and video. Besides the codecs.
- Dec 13, 2004 Note: If you do not have Windows Media Player 9 Series or later installed and cannot play content by using the Windows Media Video 9 or Windows Media Audio 9 Voice codecs from a Player embedded in a Web page, consider downloading the codec installation package for Windows Media Player 6.4 as well.
If you upgrade to Win 10 from Win 7 or Win 88.1 with Media Center you will still have most of them..
https://cleverlol.weebly.com/blog/download-qt-551-open-source. I actually use a 3rd party codec package for my machines in which Win 10 was a clean install, but it is not totally necessary.. A 3rd party video player will include about everything..
Windows 10 Codec Pack Download
I use K-Lite Codec Pack Basic at default settings on the clean install machines and have absolutely no issues with malware or virus's.. Just be sure to watch closely during for a additional app of some type.. They ASK if you want it, but if you are too quick to hit next you may miss it..
I would agree that it would be nice if they were provided by Microsoft, but they are not.. I should say that ALL of them are not..
LOL, Media Center has been discontinued too?! Remind me again why I 'upgraded'?!
Nexus mod manager latest version. Anyway, I did a clean Win 10 install too. And was indeed hoping to keep it clean, for a change. K-Lite used to be horribly invested with malware, and I haven't touched it in years! I used Shark007 (iirc) on Windows 7, which had no viruses, but it messed up the Media Foundation stuff a bit (which no sane person can ever hope to repair manually).
Thanks for your reply, regardless. :)
