The VideoLAN Forums

The VLC player takes priority every time it loops a video, jumping the video player to the foreground in front of all my other windows. Makes it impossible to have a video looping while working on another window. This started happening when I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10. Is it related? Or is there a way to disable this?

Try going to Tools -> Preferences ->Interface under simple preferences. There should be a preference that says auto raise the interface. Try setting that to Never.
