Installed VLC in Win 11

ran VLC i.e. got the pretty Orange/White Traffic cone, selected 'Media', 
"Open File", located my file on the USB drive, clicked on it ...... and 
the Traffic cone stayed put!!

What might I be doing wrong??

Note the file that was copied from PVR drive to USB drive was called 
'000' .... note no three character file type on the name!!
