It seems you might have overlooked something during your review. The message about needing to purchase a HEVC codec appears to be related to a specific software update or feature rather than a general issue. I'm not sure if this is typical for Windows 10, but it could depend on the version and settings you're using.

Microsoft requests purchase of the codec for the native application.

They’re offering a deal where the cost is reasonable compared to what you’d expect, especially since it’s included with other products—whether free or paid. What are they trying to achieve?

HEVC became royalty-free in 2017. The main reason MS charges is because they understand many users might overlook this and choose to pay when the warning appears.

It's really frustrating. Last year it was easy to get a free OEM version of the HEVC codec, but now you need to buy a code to download it.
