I even updated it manually a couple of times after that. I didn’t have any SGX driver installation issues. I first installed the SGX driver in 2017 on a Kaby Lake platform, after downloading it from the Intel Developers group, before installing PowerDVD 17 Ultra and first attempting to get 4K UHD Blu-Ray media playback working. And without SGX support, they aren't even an official player anymore ANYWAY. I'm not going to continue wasting money on the overpriced under-featured Cyberlink software at this point.
Um, JRiver has been able to do that for many, MANY years now, as well. lol Being able to extract a disc is their "new feature for the year". Yet to read all the "OMGZ PONIES you MUST have an official player" nonsense out there you'd think menus NEVER work in anything BUT an official player EVER. Yet I keep reading people saying things "well if you want the FULL UHD experience with no compromises you NEED an official player." Oh yea? While I'm sure there's a disc here and there that might not work with menus on JRiver or other libbluray supporting players, they are the exception not the rule. In all my UHD's I've tried, I've yet to find one that doesn't work with full menus with JRiver MC. Third party software has far surpassed whatever Cyberlink claims to provide at this point. But I've never ACTUALLY used it to watch a movie. I grabbed 21 because it had the ability to play discs with the protection removed without the stupidity of SGX requirements. There hasn't been a reason to upgrade in many years. Plus, since I had already paid for the product in full, I picked 19 for it, since I already had 21 and 20 on my other laptop.īut, I'm with you in one respect: Just releasing the product each year without any major updates is a waste of time and money, even though I admit I'm a PowerDVD Ultra addict, and tend to buy it when my $$ and budget can afford it each year, which I've done from 12 through 21, with the exception of buying Cyberlink Media Suite 9 Ultra off Amazon years ago so that I could own PowerDVD 10 Ultra, with it being Cinavia Free.Ĭyberlink reminds me of the Auto Industry: Making a new model that is just a slightly updated version of the previous year's model and calling it an upgrade. I put it on the laptop because I had just got it from a business that was giving them away (after erasing and reformatting the machine, of course) and I didn't want to spend $$ on yet another version of PowerDVD.
I'm using PowerDVD 19 Ultra on another Windows 10 Pro laptop, and it works without a hitch. Click to expand.I'll say this for the software from Cyberlink: It's relatively stable, and works, once you work out the quirks and kinks from PowerDVD Ultra.
