If your device supports HEVC decoding in hardware, then you're covered by the hardware license and the codec pack for Fall Creators Update should just use that, so it will enable HEVC playback for free.

Microsoft has decided to not ship decoding functionality any more with the OS but it will be a downloadable codec pack whose license (free or paid) depends on your hardware. So while open source apps like MPC-HC, VLC and Kodi have no issues playing back HEVC content, the Store apps that use system decoding functionality (Plex, Movies & TV, Netflix 4K) can't play HEVC videos.

However, there is no such decoder included by default in the OS.

When Windows 10 Fall Creators Update was released, people expected an H.265 decoder to be included in the OS, keeping up with the times.
