When using VLC Media Player, the cursor no longer disappears once a video is

Is r.p.d. the best NG to find an answer to this Win10 question?

Sure, why not? Photogs are heavy users of cutting-edge computers and
software. It's like cameras. You'd NEVER go to Dpreview or other
professional photo sites to get the low-down on a new camera as they are
the last places where problems are mentioned owing to their fealty to
manufacturers and advertisers. It's almost always the regular users who
find out things first.

It's not on topic since it's not photography related.

Agreed. Just another of RichA's off-topic posts.

I suspect that a number of photographers who use Windows also use VLC as
it is a long-used and respected media player on that platform. So,
RichA's question can be seen as verifying that the problem he
experienced is experienced by others, and if so it could have been a VLC
problem that doesn't involve Win10. I don't know of a VLC ng. Although I
would have responded to his question in the Win10 ng, I don't see it as
any more off-topic here than any other app or platform-related post, of
which there have been many.

The charter says, IIRC that the r.p.d is for discussions related to
digital photography and the processing thereof. VLC is a media player and
not related to photography like and raster editor would be, like the GIMP
or Pixelstyle. Both free to download and use, BTW...

Well there is support via https://www.videolan.org/support/

That is not a newsgroup...

But it's nothing to do with digital photography, people might have a solution but VLC isn;t the sort of program that photographers would use in photography, you might be better off in a star wars group where VLC player can be used to play star war vids, but not photographic images.

FYI, VLC only works with digital images, so by definition it DOES have
to do with digital photography. It has long been used to organize,
manage, and play slide shows of those images, so it's no more OT than a
question about Lightroom or any other app used by photographers.

Surely you realize that apps other than raster editors are used by
digital photographers?

How do you explain your many responses to the discussion about rear view
cameras in cars that lack any indication of being OT? That is not the
only "OT" discussion that you participated in without making such
protests btw, so what is this REALLY about?

That's news to me.

AFAIK VLC works with videos. Movies, not stills. But I just tried and it
does display stills.

Have you used it? I have it installed on both macOS and Win10. VLC stands
for VideoLAN and it is a media player and not an image editor!
