Re: VLC no longer opens in Windows 11

VLC worked for awhile--it even opened without the Run As Administrator prompt. Three days ago, that no longer works. It's dead as a doornail.

And I can't be the only person in the world who's having this problem. So no snarky answers, please.

Re: VLC no longer opens in Windows 11

I tried opening it as administrator. That worked. I guess that's how it's going to work from now on. A stupid added step for no good reason at all. At least it works.

VLC no longer opens in Windows 11

For the past few days, I've been unable to open VLC Media Player on my Windows computer. It worked up until a few days ago. Now--nothing. Unresponsive. It shows up in Task Manager as being running, but it's dead in practical use. I tried uninstall/reinstall the last time it did this (a week ago) and...

Re: "soap opera effect" (too smooth motion) on VLC upgrade

No one has replied to this original poster's request. I second this request. I'm tired of having motion smoothing ruin the feel of older movies on VLC. I would like to know how to disable motion smoothing on VLC and I can't find anything on how to do this anywhere on the internet. It's maddening. I ...

Re: VLC won't play videos; shuttles between fullscreen and small screen with psychotic flickering

Deleting the APPDATA file did the trick. There were 2 GB of material in that folder. Thank you so much for your suggestion, Lotesdelere!

VLC won't play videos; shuttles between fullscreen and small screen with psychotic flickering

For the last two days, I've not been able to play any video file on VLC. It flickers between full-screen and reduced screen size in a psychotic strobing effect. I tried re-setting Preferences, but it did nothing to help. It will not play audio files any longer, either. It plays them, but without sou...

I can't get VLC Media Player to open anymore....

Since the new Windows update (and before that, come to think of it), when I tried to open VLC, I'd get the "oops! VLC just crashed! Would you like to report the bug?" message. After I chose "Yes," the program would open. I could not directly open files. VLC now had to be open fir...

Re: VLC was crashing every time I opened it...

Did another un/re install to the 64 bit version. It gives with the same "Ooops!" crash notice, but if I click "No" on the reports option, I'm back to where I was--I can access the program and open stuff up via the folder. Guess it's okay. It works, and that's something.

VLC was crashing every time I opened it...

...as it so often does. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it. Now, VLC won't respond period. It's unusable. The only way I was able to get around the crashing was to open VLC and then choose the music or video I wanted to access via the "Open Folder" command. And now VLC won't boot up. S...
