I have uninstalled version 3.0.20 and installed 3.0.21 after I got an error message that 3.0.20 wouldn't run. Now version 3.0.21 won't start either. No error message, it simply won't start. I have been using VLC for years and this is the first time it refuses to start. Need a little help please.

What is your OS ?

First, reboot your computer.
Uninstall VLC.
Then delete the whole C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\ folder if it's still exists, it might be C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC\ if you're using the 32-bit version.
Also delete the whole %APPDATA%\vlc\ folder.

Once done, reboot again and reinstall latest version of VLC, v3.0.21 as of today.
