Installedcodec is a compact Windows utility that shows the audio and video codecs and splitters registered on your PC. It presents key details such as codec name, file path, CLSID and current status so you can quickly identify what is active or conflicting with media players and editors. Use the tool to enable or disable codecs, export diagnostic reports, and pinpoint components that cause playback errors. The interface focuses on clarity — filter by codec type, sort entries by name or status, and inspect properties for each item to ensure compatibility with desktop applications and editors. Designed for Windows desktop use, the utility helps technicians and advanced users troubleshoot playback problems and improve application compatibility without complex setup. Download the lightweight executable, review codec details, toggle problematic items, and restart affected apps to test changes. The tool is intended for informed users who need precise codec control on PC systems.
Really happy with my experience using InstalledCodec. It's pretty straightforward, and it helped me play some stubborn files. I like the automatic detection feature, but I think it could use a bit more updates.
