On the same line, Synology dropped it on their NAS too (for their video, media etc ... Even thumbnails, they ask the sender device to generate one locally and send it, the NAS won't do it anymore for HEVC)

Also you can just use Linux, Dell / HP have no control over the actual GPU for that, I think they just disabled it in Windows level. Linux has no gatekeepers for that and you can use your GPU as you want.

But this just indicates that HEVC etc. is a dead end anyway.

Dell is dropping it to save 4 cents per device, so users will have to pay $1 to Microsoft per user instead. Go figure.
