The most viwed article on my blog till date is how to clear VLC history. I am sure we all love our privacy and can’t have a private laptop if we have friends and family roaming around. So it’s always better to take precuation to avoid unwelcomed problem. Recently I switched to Windows 10 and came across the same problem.

I took help from one of my readers’ comment to write this article. If you are using Windows 7 you probably want to visit my last article ““. And if using Windows 8 and above, let’s get started.

You can also read my blog on Step 1: If you open VLC and go to “Media”. You can see an option ‘Open recent media’ or “CLT+1” (refer below image) where you can access your recent history. We can disable it. I played some tutorial videos to take snapshot. Don’t preassume that I am a geek.

🙂 😛 Step 2: Go to ‘Tool’ >> ‘Preference’ >> Untick “Save recently played items” and ‘Save’ it. Step 3: Now go to VLC “Media” again and you won’t see “Open recent media” option anymore since we have disabled this feature. Step 4: But this is not the whole story.

If you right click on VLC logo on taskbar you can still see your recent played videos. Refer to below image. Step 5: We have to disable this feature as well. Now go to ‘Desktop’ and right click. You can see ‘Personalize’ option down below. Click on it and it will open a new window.

Step 6: Go to ‘Start’ and disable ‘Jump list option’ as shown in below image. Step 7: We are done. Now go to VLC logo and do confirm before your proceed. For windows 8,8.1 you can probably try Step 1,2 and 3 and then the below method which was commented by one of my readers but I am not sure whether it will work or not as I haven’t tried myself.

Go To taksbar–>rightclick—properties–Jump Lists—>disable both checkboxes If it helped you please give me your love by commenting and sharing the article with your friends. Thanks a ton.
