That is not a bug in MPC-HC. It is most likely caused by some security software on your computer (antivirus/antimalware). Those sometimes cause delays when first starting an application. Try disabling such tools as a test, and if that solves it add the MPC-HC folder to the exclusion list of those tools.
I don't have none of those installed, its a laptop which I use wiithout connection to internet, it's only for music/movies, so no viruses or any other threats.
This may help: Options > Player > Disable Open Discs menu
Another common cause is bad sound or video drivers. https://griffeltavla.wordpress.com/2014/02/10/resolved-mpc-hc-taking-10-seconds-to-launch-a-clip/
So far none of those worked, I use Realtek drivers btw. I'd recorded the issue with my smartphone, here is the link: https://youtu.be/jQoN-fHjt_8 I think this started to happen since I changed to MPC-HC x86 sometime ago, but not sure now.
As a test you can try this: Options > Playback > Output > Audio Renderer > Null (Anything)
If that works (sound will be mute) then it is certainly a sound related issue.
Why are you using x86? The x64 version has better performance. If you are using ReClock, then try without that.
Just FYI, I previously had a similar issue: audio player foobar2000 was hanging when opening some web radios, on Windows freshly booted. The issue suddenly disappeared some day (not by updating foobar2000). I don't know what or where the actual fix was.
What's surprising with your case is that it's happening on a local file. These kind of issues often happen because of network. By any chance, is the file loaded over some network share, LAN, NAS?
Otherwise, I highly suspect some bootup eager process, eating your CPU or your disk I/O. Try disabling antivirus, etc. Also, use Task Manager and Process Monitor to check if there is a resource hog.
Sorry, I mean sinceMPC-HC x86

I'm using the x64 version, I mean since I changed the x86 for the x64, I typed that wrong. However, I finally solved it! Here is how: using the Codec Tweak Tool, go to "Preferred Splitters". I noticed that by default, most of the associations were to "Use merit", so I change them to "LAV Splitter (recommended)". Awesome see it lauch INSTANTLY! Thanks to clsid2 and vlakoff for your help, you're amazing !
In that case you may have unwanted third party filters installed. You can get a list with: Codec Tweak Tool > Generate Log
You should also re-install your codec pack, since those "recommended" settings is what it uses by default. Some other program must have messed things up.
Ok, cheers from Canary Islands (IsPain)!
Hi
Most of the time, after of start the operative system (Win7 x64) and play a file from explorer (with double-click), it hangs (it doesn't respond) for several seconds, and then it play it. I notice it at least since 1.7.13, and a couple of weeks ago I updated to the last version, but still the bug is there.
Cheers
