=> Crashes resolved by uninstalling Nvidia Experience / Shadowplay
After rebooting, right click on PDR14.exe and choose the option to run the software by NVIDIA GPU. Download the files "GpuUtilityEx_ENABLE_VGA.exe" and "GpuUtilityEx_ENABLE_" and copy theįiles to the path C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector14ĥ. Download the file "GpuUtility.dll" and copy the file to the path C:\Program Files\CyberLink\PowerDirector14\CESdlls\ģ.
Find the 2 files "PDR.exe" and "" and rename them toĢ. To implement the workaround, please follow the steps below:ġ. The issue cannot be resolved from the software side.

We (CyberLink) made a workaround to avoid the restriction but there might be side effect of issues. The issue is actually the restriction of the software NVIDIA Control Panel but not PowerDirector issue. I have received a reply (from CyberLink) which I will now quote from:
