I'm very disapointed with PDR 16, less than a year I got PDR16 it stoped working. An there is no official update to fix this issue.
I just downloaded free Shotcut and it works with out issues, that save me for the holydays but wonder if we are going to get a fix or should I start considering other editors.

Hotfix removed, as latest PowerDirector patch nullifies it. Please see this workaround instead:

1. Download and install the Intel graphics driver version 24.20.100.6194 from the Intel download center:
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/27892/Intel-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-10?product=98909
2. Once installed, reboot Windows.
3. Do not restore the Intel graphics driver to the version that is offered in the Windows update.

Thanks so much it works again,
what is the isue with the new intel drivers?

SOLVED!!!! -- I read a great deal and tried everything I read. The biggest issue seamed to be that there was a conflict with my display driver. I attempted updating that driver in several ways (automatic, manual, online search with download and install) but none of that worked. It said I already had the most current driver or that driver is not compatible.

Here's how I solved it. I ROLLED BACK THE DRIVER to the previous driver. This immediately sovled the crash when you click Produce button. I'm burning 18 DVD's as I type.

To do this, type "device manager" in the search box by the Windows logo. Double click Device Manager. Double click display adapters. Double click your display adapter (mine was Intel HD Graphics 520). Click Driver tab. Click "Roll Back".

SOLVED!

Thanks for posting what worked for you! I think it might have been that your latest version wasn't version 25.20.100.6444 or newer (one of the new DCH driver versions released starting Nov 28, 2018).

I mention this because according to Intel's DCH driver support site, rolling back to a "legacy" driver from a DCH driver is not recommended because of system stability issues, and they say you should uninstall the new driver like a regular program.

However, if anyone else is still encountering this problem and your installed driver version starts with 15.40. (like the current 15.40.42.5063 version from Mar 2019), then it's not the newer DCH version, and rolling back is a good option.
