VLC blames a Microsoft Defender bug for 33-second startup delays on Windows 11 PCs, but its own bug tracker tells a much messier story.

    I’ve been using MPC-QT for a while on Linux after deciding to ditch VLC. It works pretty well.

    If I end up with a weird file I can’t open or something, I’m glad the VLC tool is there if I need it. But as an everyday media player, I found the experience to be lacking.

    I 100% believe it’s Windows’ fault on this one.

    I’ve never had problems with VLC in over a decade of use until MS started vibe coding everything and doing zero QA.
