Correct, 2nd app in that screens list installed from Windows store solves the issue.
It's just a codec.
I've installed it on at least 4 PC's and is all you need.
And point of order, there never was a file incompatibility issue between the platforms.
Windows files only had a data fork while Mac files had a data and resource fork.
The resource fork is what told the OS which program to use.
You didn't need the .xxx file extension and Mac users were not accustomed to appending it so when the file got to a PC Windows didn't know what to do with it.
All that was ever needed on either end was adding .doc .jpg .xls etc.....
So Macs started adding it by default as well and problem was solved.
