I've hit a bit of a snag and could really use some help. I've got a bunch of photos in HEIC format, and I'm struggling to view heic files on Windows 10 (and potentially Windows 11) setup. It seems like my current setup just isn't cutting it for these types of files. I'm wondering if anyone has recommendations for a best HEIC viewer that's compatible with Windows 10 or 11? I'm looking for something straightforward and user-friendly since I'm not exactly a tech wizard. Any advice or suggestions would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!
After a bit of research and trying out a few different applications, I found a couple of solutions that worked well for me. First, I discovered that Microsoft actually offers a HEIC file extension support in the Microsoft Store, which, once installed, it seems doesn't allow me to view HEIC files directly in the Windows Photos app, I don't why.

I also tried out a third-party app called TunesBro HEIC converter. It not only let me view HEIC files seamlessly but also offered the option to convert them to JPG if needed. This was super handy for sharing photos with friends who couldn't view HEIC files or for uploading to websites that only accept JPG.
Google Photos is a popular photo sharing and storage service developed by Google. It allows users to upload, share, and manage their photos and videos from any device. It supports a wide range of photo and video formats, including the High Efficiency Image File Format (HEIC). HEIC is a format used by Apple's iOS devices for storing high-quality images in smaller file sizes compared to traditional formats like JPEG. However, HEIC is not as widely supported on non-Apple platforms, which can create challenges when sharing or viewing these files.
Once uploaded, Google Photos automatically converts HEIC files to a compatible format for easy viewing across all devices. Simply click or tap on an image to view it. You can also use Google Photos' editing tools to enhance your images.
Are you open to installing a third-party app for viewing HEIC files, or would you prefer a solution that integrates directly into Windows 10/11, like a codec or feature update? This could help narrow down the best recommendation for your setup!
Encouraged by that success, I also decided to give TunesBro HEIC Converter a shot, especially since I often need to convert photos for sharing with friends and family or for use on websites. The ability to easily convert HEIC files to JPG has been a game changer for me. It's incredibly user-friendly and the batch conversion feature has saved me so much time.
Since Windows 10 ONLY allows me as a sys admin to set a list of default application associations via an .xml file ONE TIME at a computer login or a user login via GPO, HOW IN THE WORLD DOES GOOGLE CHROME REPEATEDLY KEEP CHANGING THE DEFAULT PDF VIEWER TO ITSELF FOR MY USERS????
I've been working on this for months now and it is really piss poor that Microsoft does not let sys admins control the default file associations to the degree they are doing it now. That would be FAR MORE SECURE than MS deciding that their stupid piss poor browser is the best options if a registry key that controls it is changed. These types of controls might be fine for stupid home users, but not for business. If MS can't successfully allow for optimal functionality between both then perhaps they need to have two lines of products one for business where sys admins are allowed to do their jobs and one for stupid home users.
I just had another user with this issue today. They logged on to their computer, my GPO did its job set the default pdf viewer to Adobe Reader, the user opened/closed several pdf files no problem. A short time later goes to open a pdf file and it opens in CHROME!!!
I scrubbed through the registry on the computer and NOWHERE was there an association between chrome and pdf files, in fact it was quite the opposite every pdf file association and userchoice key was set to Adobe as it should be. However in settings, apps, default apps, view apps by file types it listed chrome and all shortcuts to pdfs had a chrome icon and opened in chrome.
So obviously there is a serious FLAW in Microcraps plan to protect and keep a users default application file associations. So if anyone out there knows how chrome is doing this, when I can't even get around it as a sys admin, or can help fix the root cause of this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.
This issue just came up for me today out of the blue. Everything was fine before with Adobe being the default PDF viewer, and then suddenly all my PDF files have the Chrome icon beside it. In my Outlook, all PDF attachments that people sent me also show the Chrome icon.
I am NOT an IT person but I googled to find various possible fixes and I tried a couple with no success. The conversation here is way over my head but since I'm desperate to restore "order", I kept reading. Anyway, I found a simple fix and it actually worked. I forget who to credit but I found it somewhere online, so thanks to that person.
Basically, I went to a file on my computer (which has the Chrome icon beside it). I right-clicked on it and selected "Open with". At this point, I was thinking, "Yeah, yeah, I tried this already". But I read this particular instruction more closely from the webpage I was on, and it said to select "Choose another app". I did that, and Adobe was already selected. BUT THE KEY TRICK IS TO CHECK OFF: "Always use this app to open .pdf files".
I thought, "Can it be this simple?" I tried something like this already but not this actual last step, and sure enough, normalcy was restored! All my PDF files are now showing the Adobe icon beside it, along with the attachments in my Outlook inbox that are supposed to show Adobe.
We are aware of this, and it is our current best option for resolving the issue. However, it has not been a 100% solution. We have had several dozen repeat issues after doing this method, So we are still looking for the silver bullet on this one. What I'm really trying to understand though is how Chrome is able to insert itself as the default pdf viewer in the first place. Supposedly Microcrap has put measures in place to only allow the user to select the default apps, and us as admins can set them only ONCE at initial login, and if it is done any other way Microcrap will revert it to their crappy browser as the default pdf viewer. However in this case they are not able to do it for some reason, Chrome inserts itself and Microcrap leaves it alone, Why?????? How?????? Oh, yeah, it is a Microcrap solution!!!
Thank you so much for a straightforward and quick solution to this issue. I didn't really feel like digging around using the admin tools and the context setting that you have indicated here worked like a champ for me. Not that it works for everyone of course; it is likely that the GPO solution is the more solid one. I was lucky in that this worked and thank you for posting it. Man was it annoying the heck out of me. I am fed up, as I am sure everyone else is, with applications hijacking these settings in users' profiles.
Thank you for posting this! Oddly, after I searched on Google to find an answer to this problem, when I went back to my Adobe file that had been "hijacked" to open as a Google Doc, all of my once hijacked documents now showed they were Adobe files WITHOUT making any changes to them. Strange, huh!
Just in case it decided to revert back, I took your advice and checked off the box that said to always us Adobe to open these files, so we'll see what the future brings. (This is not the first time I've had this issue, and it's only with one of my Adobe folders.)
What the team found was a legacy GPO was used to set either Adobe Read or Adobe Pro as the default PDF reader for the user based on security groups using the next registry key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts.pdf\UserChoice\Progid. A new Hash value in Windows 10 is also added to UserChoice key.
In a repro we found that either having no ProdID or a randomized ProdID, then opening a PDF with Chrome, Chrome would then be the default PDF application. Basically your file association ProdID MUST match the Adobe version hash. If not it will revert.
Setting the file association to Adobe would then create the correct Hash value, then when accessing a PDF with Chrome, it would reload the default. Then we disabled the GP applying the registry change, and have changed to using the Win10 supported method using Set a default associations configuration file GP for our users.
IT admin here. In the last few weeks, I've had this issue spreading across my entire ecosystem. I've been setting the default app associations via the local GPO for years to point to an XML file stored on a share on my file server, and have had zero issues. Now, out of the blue, Chrome is taking over user PC's slowly but surely. The fix, weirdly enough, has been to disable the GPO. That's not a long-term solution however, as I want Chrome to be the forced default browser, and Microsoft seems to love pushing Edge out as the default when doing Win10 version updates.
Edit: Only reason I found out it was the same Id was because of this page: -docs/acrobatetk/tools/AdminGuide/pdfviewer.html However, keep in mind it is lying to you, that ProgId for Reader has 100% changed.
I have installed Splunk on a Linux box and is listening for incoming on 9997. Our linux boxes send its syslog to it and work fine.
The Windows boxes however do not send any event viewer logs. I installed SplunkForwarder on it and followed the prompts where I entered the Receiver server and port 9997. Also restarted the splunk service just in case.
What additional configurations are to be done to ensure Event Viewer logs/AD monitoring start to populate my Splunk sitting on the Linux box.
I'm able to telnet to 9997 from Windows to Linux so it is not an access issue.
Hey, I am wondoring How Can I send Log files from linux to windows? I downloaded splunk in windows and forwarder in linux. I can telnet 9997 from linux to windows but I don't know how to send a files. can anybody help me with it? 152ee80cbc
