>HEVC windows 10 app

Unless you can link to the specific "HEVC windows 10 app", I'm pretty sure you're referring to "HEVC Video Extensions", which is just a codec pack for decoding HEVC files.

>DV app is called Dolby Vision Extensions app

The linked article says that you need a "Dolby Vision licensed device"? That suggests it might need some sort of calibration for it to work?

I haven’t verified this myself, but I’ve seen a bunch of people on reddit claim success with the following combo:

* Movies and TV player

* HEVC extension

* Dolby Access app

* Dolby Vision extension

Additionally Dolby Vision works on Windows with a few big budget games. Thus the pipeline exists and can be used. It’s just obscured by proprietary secrets.
