The VideoLAN project releases regular updates for the VLC Media Player. These updates add new features and fix bugs, but can also include important security patches that help protect your PC or Mac from attack.
VLC automatically notifies you of new updates when you open it, but it doesn’t automatically install them. Here’s how to check manually and get the most recent version of VLC on any platform: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone, and iPad.
If you don’t want to use the built-in update process, you don’t have to. You can download the latest version of VLC from VideoLAN’s website. Be sure to only get it from the official website at videolan.org.
How to Update VLC on a Windows PC
On a Windows PC, click Help > Check for Updates to see whether an update is available.
If an update is available, VLC will offer to download and install it for you. Click “Yes” and VLC will download the latest update for you.
VLC will offer to launch the installer once it’s downloaded. Click “install” to close VLC and begin installing it.
