Is there any decent IP cam viewing software out there for windows 10? It doesn't have to record as that is handled by my NVR. I know I can stream the streams in VLC from my NVR but I have to copy and paste the address in VLC every time I want to change cam. Any suggestions for a good and ideally free streaming software for PC?

Another way is to stick with VLC. Create a m3u8 file for each cam. It's a simple text file with extension m3u8 containing the address you're pasting to VLC now.

If you're using a Dahua NVR, SmartPSS works great as a viewer and for file download
