Videolan Won't Start

Postby Tonali01 » 10 Sep 2024 00:22

I'm not exactly a computer expert, but I can be a good user. I have used Videolan for years and never had a problem. When I upgraded to 3.0.21, the system won't start. I am not into making edit to language, so I don't mess things up. I need someone to do a little hand holding or remote in and fix the system.

Thanks in advance.

First, reboot your computer.
Reset the preferences and cache (the manual way):
https://wiki.videolan.org/VSG:ResetPrefs
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. Check both folders anyway.
Also delete the whole %APPDATA%\vlc\ folder.

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