I would not want to disagree with my learned colleague, but I have a much lower spec laptop and manage OK. OK I have to kill the antivirus program, network connections and a few services, but it works. OK Rendering is slow but I let it run overnight and PD10 switches the laptop off when done.
Back to your problem, You write that the PD10 was pre-installed on your machine, I would guess that it maybe a cut-down version or requires re-installing ?

Edited to add that I had a number of CyberLink promo products on my HP laptop, and I have taken them all off, mainly because they kept asking for updates, (at a cost) or advising that certain features were not availiable.
