I loathe windows, but I did just double check because this sounds inept even for M$ -- Win photos will absolutely open .webp, but it's not the default program for whatever reason and it just defaults to edge / your_default_web_browser_here. Which is just impressively on brand for microsoft. Even when they have a feature they hide it to, idk, make themselves look even worse? Why not!

proof

(FWIW this is a clean install, I do not have any non-default codecs installed)

THANK YOU. you just saved me so much time with the knowledge.

Yeah, it's sorted through WIC iirc. As long as you have the codec installed you should be able to open it.
