I have almost the opposite problem (on a MacBook Pro): Every time I start a video it is framed inside its “chrome” and has controls on the bottom but its window is expanded to the full display size. (so not true “full screen” mode, which has no “chrome” or visible controls until mouse-ove).
The video preference for “start in fullscreen” is not selected.
I work on a 38″ monitor and while stitching 360 videos using my stitching app I often want to view a render in VLC when it is completed and continue working on another part of my workflow while it runs. Since the VLC video always starts fully expanded (even if I restart it a video that has just run in VLC) it obscures the rest of my workflow and I have to manually resize and reposition the VLC window every time.
