vlc 2.1.3 opens command prompt and playback controls are absent
I was prompted to upgrade from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3 and did so, taking the option to maintain current settings.
Now when i try to view a file (MP4 extension) there is a Windows command prompt that opens and when I close it, the video window is closed as well.
On the video window, there is no slider for position, no volume adjustment, no info or stats displayed. And the upper right corner red X for closure does not respond.
How can that command prompt be bypassed?
How can those operational options be restored?
