I have PD13, 14, 17 and 365 running smoothly on Win11. The specs you linked to don't tell us anything about how your PC is internally configured, nor does it show the details of the most recent 10 app/Windows crashes, all of which are conatined in the DxDiag file that Barry requested.
Please follow the steps in the Read Me Before Posting guide and attach the text file here. Also make sure you download and install the final patch (build 5003 from feb 2021) from CL's support page.
I don't know if this is the info you want but it's about all I can provide.

I installed PowerDirector 365 Essential version and it works and it is PD21.
Still, I think Cyberlink should fix this problem and not force people to upgrade?
I just posted a new topic then saw this. I have the exact same issue with 17. Now I have the answer. 17 (and 18) have not been updated to work with Windows 11, and clearly will not be, so we're out of luck. It's funny how you buy a CD or film DVD and you expect to still be able to use it 20 years later but with computer software you're just expected to shrug and buy new even though it's only 3 or 4 years old.

I bought a new PC. It has Windows 11. I have installed PowerDirector 17 but it will not load. It took the registration key and I get to the screen were I can select either timeline, storyboard or slideshow but it then crashes by not loading beyond this screen.
Is there a fix for this to get it to work? Do I need to instal an obscure media file reader or disable something on my PC? Is 17 compatible with Windows 11?
Thanks in advance.
This is the PC I bought if the specs matter:
DELL Inspiron 3910 Desktop PC - Intel® Core™ i5, 1 TB HDD & 256 SSD, Black

Sure. All of the Power Tools are essentially "hands-off" editing tools, meaning that they're designed to handle most of the details while only needing minimal input from you. They're nowhere near as flexible as using the standard editing tools, but in many cases, they'll get the job done quickly and easily.
In your case, however, you'll want to use the PiP Designer and simply use the Scale and Position controls, or manually drag the selection handles (the 8 white white dots along the frame) to adjust the scale, and drag the video down to show the top area. That's all there is to it!
If your shots are mostly static as far as the person's position in the frame, you may only have to set these parameters once. If there is occasional movment, you'll want to use keyframes to keep the person where you want them in the frame. There are many basic editing tutorials that cover these topics, and you can find them by searching on the forum, or on YouTube, or at the Cyberlink Learning Center
Also, the people at Cyberlink who make product development and marketing decisions don't monitor these posts, so no "Note to Cyberlink" comments will reach them. If you do want to send them feedback or requests, your best option is to use Rate Us & Provide Suggestions under PD's File menu.
It worked. So easy when you know how! That problem defeated me for ages. Thank you for the help.

I have 4K footage of a person that was shot mostly in wide shots showing their full body.
I want to output in 1080p so I know I can reframe a few shots to turn them from long shots into medium shots without sacrificing overall picture quality.
Using Tools - Power Tools - Crop/Zoom/Pan I can reframe the shots. Annoyingly I can only go into the centre of the frame. This is no use. I want to keep the top half of the frame and cut out some of the bottom half.
Using the various tricks that already exist, can someone explain how I would do this using a workaround? I’m sure there is a way to trick the software into doing this.
FYI the 4K outputted version will not have any reframed shots.
Note to CyberLink for the next version of the editor: You should allow us to reposition the frame elsewhere and not just towards the centre of the screen. This would be a really useful feature.
