Windows11, ARM64 and HEVC codec

I'm using a Snapdragon X-Elite based laptop. Need to play a 4k video which uses the HEVC codec.

I installed this $1 HEVC codec from MS Store. However, Windows media player and other players are not able to play the video.

Also its not clear what MS Store installs. I didn't see it download and install a codec. Instead it downloaded something with a "mswindowsvideo" extension. Since nothing could open that file, I was asked to install "Movies & TV" another MS app.

The codec installation page talks only about "Windows 10". Does it work for Windows 11 on ARM?
