Problem with VLC player menu vanishes

Hi I absolutely love VLC player but mine has been playing up for months what happens is the menu that allows you to pause, go back, see how long you've got left disappears and I can no longer use it. Also it freezes I can't double click and make it smaller it just stays where it is I have to restart the computer to get it working again but only lasts around 5min. I've tried uninstalling it getting a new version of VLC Nothing works. I currently own a MSI GE72 6QE Apache pro on windows 10. please help I've tried many different players they all suck either cant play the files or no sound but the VLC does everything I require.
