How I can uninstall only update 2527, leaving my install as it was before updating to 2527 yesterday? I've had several waits/loops/hangs/crashes since installing it. Was creating 2 videos a day with no problems before the upgrade.

UPDATE: Just had another crash. PD wanted to send a report so I let it. Will keep doing this when it offers, but some are just x-clock forever (no crash message), or PD disappers without notice (is why I keep doing Ctrl+S as I'm working).

p.s. The reason I upgraded to 2527 was the the insanely slow saving of thumbnails when doing a Ctrl+S has been driving me crazy and I was hoping 2527 might make a difference. No such luck.

The only way to go back is to install your previous Powerdirector. Then do not update.

Or you may be able to Restore your computer to before you installed the PD update. Carl312: Windows 10 64-bit 8 GB RAM,AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4 GHz,ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB,240GB SSD,two 1TB HDs.

ANd this is a hard lesson to learn but.... this is why I do a 'create a restore point' in windows before I do any updates. I know, this sounds so much like a 'I told you so' but.... I've been burned too many times.

I upgraded my Nvidia video drivers from 361.43 to 361.91 and was able yesterday to create two 20 minute videos without crashing. Apparently CL did something in 2527 that is not backward compatible.

Unfortunately the new patch made no difference in the problem of PD seemingly going to sleep while saving thumbnails.
