Back in the early days Mac and Windows had real issues sharing files. That was mostly resolved long ago. Now it is back, thanks to Apple's new photo format of HEIC.

If you have an iPhone or iPad and take a photo the default now (with iOS 11 and later) is to store it in a HEIC format. With a Windows 10 computer it is pretty much impossible to open it much less edit it. You can go into the camera settings and change it to be the compatable mode and not default of HEIC, but Apple does not make that easy or intuitive.

I am on Windows 10 Version 20H2 build 19042.804 and Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.551.0 and I believe it is the latest and greatest most up to date.

I own and use Photoshop Version 22.2 again latest and most updated.

I can't open an HEIC image or even view it on my computer.

Between Adobe, Apple and Microsoft one would think it is easy to make it work.

If I dig around on the internet, there is a HEIC plug in available for Win 10. I can't get it to install. After an hour, I give up. In the year 2021 this should not happen. GRRRRR.
