After the update on 09/14/2022, I discovered that ALL of my project files are gone. Every single one.

If I click on "File > Open Project" and navigate to the default PowerDirector folder where all of my projects have always been stored, it is completely empty.

If I try to search for PDS files on my hard drive, I get nothing.

If I click "Open Recent Projects" I can open those projects, but this in only the most recent things I have worked on, and still NONE of them show up in the default PowerDirector folder.

I can't get onto the Cyberlink Cloud to see if anything is there, it says I can't connect to the internet, which makes no sense because... well, here I am on the internet.

I did not move these files, I did not delete these files, I did not hide these files. I assure you I saved them correctly, the only thing that changed is the PD update. I am beyond frustrated and depressed, this is catastrophic.
