Win 10 Problem Editing Filename after Viewing a Video

My system is an HP Pavilion Desktop 510-p114 that's running Windows 10 20H2. I use VLC Media Player to watch videos.

So I download and play a video off-line. The video plays fine. The next thing I want to do is edit a file name. Any file. Doesn't have to be the video I just played, could be a Word file, or a PDF, or any other file type.

I close VLC and select the file. The filename is highlighted.

Next, I place the insertion point in the filename and wait. The insertion point flashes for around 5 seconds, then something happens and the file becomes unselected.

If I have edited the filename, those edits disappear. If I try to edit the filename again, then it works like it's supposed to. It's only after I play a video that I have this problem, and I've had the problem for about a year now. Prior to that, I never had the problem.

Any ideas what the problem could be?
 
VLC Player is very good but you could try something else and stick with that if it removes your issue. Have a look at PotPlayer for example.
