VLC是^(VLC)Windows上最流行的音视频播放器之一。但是，当您安装VLC时，它不会成为计算机的默认媒体播放器，^{(default media player for the computer)}即，当您双击媒体文件时，Windows会在Windows Media Player中播放它。因此，如果您想将VLC作为^(VLC)Windows 10中的默认媒体播放器，则必须手动进行。按照这些简单的方法来实现这一点。

使 VLC成为^{(Make VLC)}Windows 10中的默认媒体播放器

安装 VLC^{(installing VLC)}后，安装向导通常会询问您是否要将其用作默认播放器。如果您选择是，那么它应该可以工作。但是，如果另一个软件提示成为默认播放器，那么它将取代VLC。

1. 使用 Windows 设置
2. 打开媒体文件时设置为默认播放器
3. 如果VLC未列为媒体播放器怎么办

请^(Make)务必小心其他玩家提示成为默认玩家。它类似于浏览器的行为方式。您可能必须关闭使媒体播放器要求成为默认播放器的设置。

1]使用Windows设置

• 打开 Windows 设置 (Win + I)
• 导航到应用程序 >默认应用程序
• 滚动找到视频播放器^{(Video Player)}和音乐播放器^{(Music Player)}部分
• 点击^(Click)它下面的播放器名称并选择VLC

完成后，您应该会看到所有媒体播放器的VLC图标。

2]打开媒体文件时设置为默认播放器^(Setting)

这是我们上面所做的另一种方式。选择任何文件，然后右键单击它。寻找一个选项打开^(Open)方式，单击它以进一步展开。它将列出所有可能的视频或音频播放器。选择 VLC^{(Select VLC)}，视频文件会立即将图标更改为VLC。

如果您在上下文菜单中找不到“打开方式”选项，请按照本指南添加它。这是一种注册表方法，您需要管理员权限才能完成它。

3] 如果VLC没有被列为媒体播放器怎么办

如果VLC不在列表中，您必须通过从菜单中选择“选择另一个应用程序”选项在计算机上浏览来手动选择VLC 。此选项仅在上下文菜单中可用，在Windows设置中不可用。

滚动找到“更多应用程序”链接并单击它。它将显示更多应用程序，在列表的末尾，您会看到另一个链接，上面写着“在这台 PC 上查找另一个应用程序”。^(Look)点击它。

它将打开浏览器按钮，然后您可以转到程序文件夹^{(Programs Folder)}并找到VLC.EXE文件。选择^(Select)并单击确定按钮。程序文件夹是安装所有程序的位置。它通常安装在这个位置——

C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC

完成后，双击媒体文件，它将在VLC中启动。如果您的计算机的路径不同，您可以按照此方法查找VLC程序位置。

• 单击^(Click)开始按钮，然后键入VLC^(Start)以显示列表中的VLC播放器。^(VLC)
• 右键单击它，然后选择打开文件位置
• 它将打开一个文件夹，该文件夹将具有一组VLC快捷方式，但不是确切的文件位置。
• 在文件夹中，右键单击VLC 媒体播放器^{(VLC Media Player)}快捷方式并选择属性。
• 请注意目标^(Target)文本旁边的文本框中的路径。

当您需要手动定位VLC播放器路径时，请使用此确切路径。^(VLC)

我希望这篇文章很容易理解，并且您能够将VLC设置为音乐和视频文件的默认媒体播放器。

How to make VLC the default media player in Windows 10

VLC is one of the most popular audio-video players for Windows. However, when you install VLC, it does not become the default media player for the computer i.e., when you double click on a media file, Windows plays it in the Windows Media Player. So if you want to make VLC as the default media player in Windows 10, you will have to do it manually. Follow these simple methods to achieve this.

Make VLC the default media player in Windows 10

After installing VLC, the setup wizard usually asks if you want to use it as the default player. If you chose yes, then it should be working. However, if another software prompts to be the default player, then it will replace the VLC.

1. Using Windows Settings
2. Setting as default player while opening a media file
3. What if VLC is not listed as a media player

Make sure to be careful about other players prompting to be the default player. It is similar to how browsers behave. You may have to turn off settings that make media players ask to be the default player.

1] Using Windows Settings

• Open Windows Settings (Win + I)
• Navigate to Apps > Default Apps
• Scroll to find Video Player and Music Player section
• Click on the player name under it and select VLC

Once done, you should see the VLC icon for all your media players.

2] Setting as default player while opening a media file

It is an alternate way of doing what we did above. Select any file, and right-click on it. Look for an option Open with, click on it to further expand. It will list all possible video or audio player. Select VLC, and video files will instantly change icons to VLC.

In case you are not able to find the “Open with” option in the context menu, then follow this guide to add it. It is a registry method, and you will need admin permission to complete it.

3] What if VLC is not listed as a media player

In case VLC is not on the list, you will have to manually select VLC by browsing on the computer by selecting the “Choose another app” option from the menu. This option is available only in the context menu, and not in the Windows settings.

Scroll to find the link “More Apps” and click on it. It will reveal more apps, and at the end of the list, you will get another link which says, “Look for another app on this PC.” Click on it.

It will open the browser button, and you can then go to the Programs Folder and find the VLC.EXE file. Select and click on the Ok button. The programs folder is the location where all programs are installed. It is usually installed at this location-

C:\Program Files (x86)\VideoLAN\VLC

Once done, double click on the media file, and it will launch in VLC. If the path is different for your computer, you can follow this method to find the VLC program location.

• Click on the Start button, and type VLC to reveal the VLC player on the list.
• Right-click on it, and select open file location
• It will open a folder which will have a set of shortcuts for VLC but not the exact file location.
• In the folder, right-click on the VLC Media Player shortcut and select properties.
• Note the path in the text box next to Target text.

Use this exact path when you need to locate the VLC player path manually.

I hope the post was easy to follow, and you were able to set VLC as the default media player for music and video files.
