The VideoLAN Forums

Well, as it turns out, I uninstalled VLC and downloaded the 64 BIT installer and now it seems to work just fine. Cheers.

I'm running Windows 10 now and VLC takes literally hours to start. I tried to open a file near bed time and literally 10 hours later it suddenly opened. I have tried everything - EVERYTHING - talked about in this thread. I have no idea what the problem is. Was this issue ever resolved?
