To begin, love the product! Now.... Recently re-installed Windows 10. Downloaded and installed VLC Player (3.0.14 64bit). I have the same version on other computers, runs no problem. This one computer however, when I try to run the program takes minutes. When I say minutes I don't mean 1 or 2, I mean like 10 to 15 just to open the program. I have also noticed that when I am in the programs folder (VLC) and I try to open one of the text files, say Authors.txt, it also takes an unreasonable amount of time. (I'm using Notepad++ but even regular notepad struggles opening anything in this folder)
This is the ONLY program doing this. I have tried uninstalling multiple times. I have even gone into the registry and scraped out any residual entries I could find from VLC. I have even copied over a VLC folder from a PC I know is working well and pasted on this PC. Same issue.
This was working on this computer, Windows died and I had to reinstall everything.
Any thoughts? (BTW, VLC just opened. It took 8:34 to open)
