I've uninstalled and reinstalled VLC (the most important one for me) Haven't looked much into the other apps that aren't working - I've just found workarounds, and alternative softwares that do seem to work.Īny more help to finally fix this would be great. I'm at the ABSOLUTE BEGINNER LEVEL - so assume I know nothing.
