Ironically, I literary installed a copy of fresh Windows 7 yesterday on another disk, and the issue still persists.Possibly due to a corrupted file somewhere. To fix open vlc and hit Ctrl + P to open prefs and then click the big Reset Preferences at the bottom. Exit and restart vlc.
Are you streaming from a site such as youtube for example, or are the files located locally?
I found these in Messages:(and I'm playing files from the same HDD I played for ages now).

457.09 drivers. I can post MediaInfo info, but note that this happens not just on this video:It's possible. What version are the Nvidia drivers?
Could you please download this analytical application and then post the info here.

Output module or HW acceleration?Try changing the output module. See this thread: https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=155421
So far it seems that disabling acceleration works without issues. I'll try DXVA and D3D11 again, but this puzzles me, as I said, nothing hw/sw has changed here for a good few years except VLC updates and driver changes.The latter.
I actually don't have stutters and pauses, I pause manually, and have no more video (just few frames and it stops) after resuming.Been having same issue with VLC playing DVD images
Pauses, skips stutters, VLC is dreadful
still haven't found a solution yet, just put it down to VLC being buggy
Yes I can get SHA-2 updates and drivers. I always upgraded but checked perform clean install with NVidia, used DDU in some extreme cases. But this is happening on fresh Windows, so... Trying a day or two with DXVA to see how it goes.A note from the Nvidia site regarding Windows 7. I can't link to the page exactly, but here's a relevant screenshot.

Here's the link to the release notes.
Before you installed those drivers did you uninstall the old ones first and if so, how did you perform that step?
Whenever I update Intel or Nvidia drivers I always use this uninstaller and run it in Safe Mode.
Thing is, it's not just that one file. Some seem to work (pause/resume) with HW acceleration properly. Some just have few pixelated/glitchy frames and resume. And a rare few like this one completely won't play video after resuming.Where did the .mkv file come from? The reason I'm asking is because I don't have a video with that file type on my system and therefore can't test it to see if the same thing happens. Pausing an .mp4 file and then continuing after a couple of minutes works normally.
