If I played that same video file in any other player like mpc-hc (I never use WMP) etc, Windows would continue to remain in Aero scheme and never drop down to Basic.
I observed that this happened only when I ran VLC. If I then stopped the play (by clicking the STOP button) and then re-started it, the video would show normally.Īdditionally, Windows would drop down to 'Basic' from 'Aero' display type. Video frame would show outside of the application window but be black or blank.
Whenever I played any video file using VLC (ver.2.2.4 Weather Wax) only the sound would start.
