support in windows 10 for .flv files?

Windows 7 and 8 I don't believe had native support for .flv video files, does windows 10 and if not what is the best way to achieve this?

I always thought the work around was to open them in Internet Explorer.

I use VLC. It will play anything you throw at it. You can right click on a .flv file and assign VLC as the default program and works great.

I have used Internet Explorer with flash player installed in the past. I like VLC better. Just my preference.

VLC - seconded ...

I would agree. The OP asked for native support, so I went with an answer that didn't involve software. VLC would give a better playback experience, and you can't beat the price (free).

This, I have used VLC player for all my media since Vista. I don't use any other player for video. It has never given me any problems no matter what file format I throw at it. Be it AVI, MPG, MP4, MKV, FLV, anything.

And I'm old school, I still use WinAMP for all my music listening (I know there might be better programs out there) but I have been using WinAMP since XP and I prefer that as well for my sound system.

Winamp — It really whips the llama's ass!

And VLC Player Supports the new 4K Video Codec. Testet last Weekend without any Problems.

That's great to know, thanks for that info as well.

Yes! It works great. But a 4K Movie with 40 min. running time is a very big file - 18GB!!!

Just like Breaking Bad Ultra HD 4k, 1 episode is 18GB
