Windows 10: VLC and Windows Media Player locks every 10 seconds. TOF Sensor problem?

I have a Lenovo Idepad 5 Pro. I have noticed when I watch movies in VLC and Windows Media Player the movies stops by themselves every 10 second. I need to sit exactly right in front of the laptop screen to keep the movies played. I guess this have to do with the IR Camera with TOF sensor but there is no way to disable the sensor. I'm running Windows 11 Home. I have tried to disable the camera but didn't solve the problem. I have never experience this problem before.Help Please!

Second odd Vlc Media Player Question?


First of all I know there's a way to change program icons such as firefox all you do is right click shortcut change icon. Simple.

I would guess its the same way for vlc media player. But here's the odd question part.

Is it possible to have 1 program with 2 different icons.

For example if I use vlc to play .mp3 files and have a cute headphones icon and want the media player to have the headphones icon while playing .mp3 files and then have a different icon for the vlc media player for playing video in .mp4 and .flv files. So all audio file will have the headphones icon for the player itself not the file type icons same for video file types like .mp4 and .flv.

Like I said its a odd question.

For example if I used vlc for the audio .mp3 files and used the headphones icon that would be fine but then I would need a different player for the videos then I could use my video icon. For the player.

If you have windows 10 and are playing vlc media player there would be a orange cone on the bottom with a line under it. I would like to know if I can switch the orange icon to a set of headphones for playing 1 file type and have it show a different kind of icon for videos.

Like I previously stated its a odd question. hope someone can help me with it though. Plus if I can't do this with just the vlc media player please suggest a second free player.
