I have suspected that the size 24mp is "too large" so WIN 10 cannot READ PROPERLY (SORRY FOR THe caps it's my tablet's issue). I wrote to Pentax support and they say pretty much they have nothing to do with it, only focuses on Pentax software...
Dear Mr/Mrs XXXXX,
Thank you for contacting Ricoh Imaging
A file with the PEF file extension is a Pentax Raw Image file.
These can only be opened by programs designed by Pentax.They are not supported by Windows.
I would suggest using the .DNG file type for RAW files.
If you are in need of further assistance, please respond to this email or call our technical support center.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXX

HI there! Well, it's unchecked by default, at least it was unchecked when I checked it up. It's a pity... Files work well on Lightroom though

I have reinstalled the firmware as well as I reset my settings.... I have installed Silkypix 5 64-bit and then I updated to the latest version. nothing happens. I can though see PEFs with this software but no tnumbails on Windows (which it's the easy and fastest way). I can still see my K5 PEF thumbnails without any problem.... I give up.

I can also see K5 previews, not K3. The only issue I can think about it's my SD-cards are corrupt but in that case I shouldn't be able to see anything... As I stated before, I can see PEFs only with Pentax image software (which I never use).
I've also tried to install this 8.1 codec pack but I cannot go much further because they are incompatible OS versions (currently, I'm on Windows 10).
I'll reinstall the firmware as well as format my cards. I will also test both RAW+JPEG (two cards) and stand alone RAW (one card and two cards).
I have to say that I can see DNG files after the piece of software was installed. Weird, very weird case, my case, I cannot contact Pentax directly, unlike as any other big corporation, they don't have customer hot-line.

I did really believe .PEF format works for you and almost everybody. I reinstalled Windows 8.1 and the problem is the same. At least in this version of Windows I see the message: "This file can't be opened. The file might be damaged".
As far I know, if any file is corrupted, you cannot simply open it in any program. Well, when I have used that ugly Pentax software, I was actually able to open all of them..... Strange, this things should work out of the box for everybody...
My Pentax itself works well, no issues whatsoever. I can see my thumbnails, previews, manipulate .PEF inside the camera without a hitch. My cars work well, the are magnetic secured and reasonable fast and big for my needs. I really don't get it... Well, I will keep shooting in JPEG and DNG, it doesn't bother me too much in that case.
Thank you.

Doesn't work for me either.... I have refresh my computer (It's almost the same as reinstalled the whole OS) and .PEFs do not show up. I tried to open them up with Windows Photo viewer and I get:

I bought it second hand, I did have any software. Anyway, the codec should be available for download from the Pentax Rocoh site.

I have the same issue and any links provided here don't work whether is 32 or 64 bits... And sure you can run some 32 bits programs on your 64 bits system, in fact most of programs are 32 bits and you can prove this looking at your harddisk C-> Program Files(x86)... There are all your 32 bits programs allocated: Chrome, Firefox... Most powerful programs as Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Premier are 64 bits natively because many reasons such as more memory required.
I don't understand... why DNG codec works once you have installed but Pentax codec? If you want to work with these files you need to download that Pentax edit software that sucks. Finally, Pentax software isn't made for K-3 but for K5 or K7. Am I missing something? Nobody complains, I assume they are shooting in either DNG or JPEG.
