I use VLC media player (latest version 2.2.6 Umbrella) as my media player and converter of choice.
Frequently, but not consistently, when I open VLC the player window is far larger than my screen size and I bring the full window into total view by simply clicking and dragging a corner/clicking and moving the title bar.
This issue is absent when I doubleclick on any media file to play.
I have had a good nose through the 'Customise Interface' and 'Preference' options in the Tools dropdown and cannot see anything helpful here.
Uninstalling VLC media player, rebooting the PC, fetching a fresh installer from the VLC website and reinstalling the program does not clear away the issue.
Does anyone have a suggestion for a fix?
Thank you for your consideration

Quick Update: I just had a 'stunning brainwave'
and signed up to the VideoLAN support forums. A few minutes of searching in their Windows forum produced what should be the solution to my issue: hit the 'Reset Preferences' button at the bottom of the Preferences options within the Tools dropdown. Had not seen this during my previous look. So, I have gone with this and hopefully will now find that the too-large-window scenario has been hit on the head.
