Corel Video Studio X10

Run the program and check for updates should find the latest service packs:-
Otherwise go to

For recent purchases and downloads (after July 2016) (CVSX9.5) will be provided.
Service pack 4 would/can then be installed.

Go to Help – Check for updates
Go to Help- About to check your version number is correct.

I would recommend allowing auto updates to install any patches, only try manual installs if you have problems.
Installing updates in the wrong order or when already installed will show the message:-

A windows 7 update in February 2017 left all Corel Video Studio programs inoperative.
Corel have provided fixes for some versions.

CVSX9 Disc / Box Version

Internet connection should be available to allow an automatic installation.
Installing the disc via the Web Installer (VideoStudio.exe) will first download the latest service Patch, the program will then be installed followed by the Service Patch.

The program should launch and run without problems.
If you do not have an internet connection then as far as I am aware the program will install but will need the latest service patch installed separately to allow the program to launch.


CVSX8
Corel have provided hot fixes for this program which should be installed immediately after installing the program
Corel VideoStudio X8.5 Hotfix 2

CVSX7
Corel VideoStudio X7 Hotfix 1
The hot fix should be installed immediately after installing the program

Unfortunately,……
For earlier versions of Video Studio to date Corel are not intending to fix the windows update problems, if you require further information contact Corel regarding this issue….

Upgrade to CVSX9

Corel are however offering the upgrade for users owning any earlier versions of Video Studio, In the past eligibility was limited to the last two versions.
So if you have an old program then it may be worth considering an upgrade.

Upgrade Eligibility.jpg

For those who do not wish to take up that offer earlier versions can be run by uninstalling the Windows Updates, hiding the updates to stop them installing again, this is of course at your own discretion and may affect pc security?

How…

In Control Panel, Programs and Features, click View Installed Updates. Top left
- Remove KB3126587 and/or KB3126593
In addition KB3140410 may also be causing some issues reported for X6 and X5
- Do NOT reboot.

Now go to
Control Panel - Windows Updates
Run Check for Updates, it should find the two updates
View updates to install
Select update , right click
Hide updates KB3126587 and/or KB3126593 and KB3140410
