It's a codec issue. You can get the codec if your OEM paid for it, if not you can buy it on the MS store. It sucks but plenty of other codecs have had the same issue in the past on windows, mkv wasn't playable by windows unless you had a codec for it.

win10-11. major oem prebuilt and cto should have it installed, otherwise it's here:

should be 'free' afaik.

for win<10, get WebpCodecSetup.exe from the webm/webp project download archives: https://storage.googleapis.com/downloads.webmproject.org/releases/webp/index.html

I haven't used windows in years, but I thought this was just about software patents for these codecs. So it should work in regions where software patents are not a thing then (e.g. Europe)?

Huh? I am pretty sure I didn't have any problem opening WebP files when I was still using Windows 10 (switched to Debian GNU/Linux btw).

taking a screenshot can solve some of this problem

I usually convert the image using FFMPEG and that works great.

It's not 2015, we don't need any more of those deep fried memes.

I just rename it to a ".JPG" file extension and that seems to work ¯_(ツ)_/¯
