Keyboard and mouse stop working

Postby baterax » 31 Oct 2017 23:42

Hello!

I've been using VLC for at least 10 years now, I still remember the days when we had to discover and download codecs... man oh man!

But, recently I've been having this issue, where whenever I watch anything long enough on VLC, my keyboard and mouse stop responding.
I should mention they are connected via my ASUS ultrawide monitor's hub to the PC.
But I remember this happening even before I had this monitor, which means they were connected directly into the back of my PC.
Here's my current setup:

HELP. This is very annoying.

Do you have a Wacom tablet or any similar device ?

Nothing, the only other controller plugged in is an XBOX Elite controller...

Well it looks like it went away.
Thank you very much!

Although, sometimes the problem takes a while to happen so if it does, I'll come back and post here again.
