    Go to control panel and click on windows firewall and check if you can enable MSE in there.

    I disabled it on purpose thinking it might fix the issue, but nope it doesn't. What's even weirder is that I also cannot find "Multimedia Settings" on my other laptop but both have different programs and anti-virus installed. Is this some kind of Windows Update? I've already done a system file check and the results were all good.

    Welcome to Seven Forums dfg555. Make sure Media Features is checked in Turn windows features on or off



    Windows Features - Turn On or Off

    Hmm that seems to have solved the problem, thanks! Does optimizing it for video quality also impact on the performance of VLC Media Player? I don't like using WMP as my media player.

    Good, glad that was it. I doubt you'd see much difference. VLC is likely optimized to run on any settings. But I could not confirm one way or the other. A Guy
