Never had this problem before with previous versions. Reinstalling V6.8 solves the issue.
That said, V6.8 fails to use my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 card. DeepPRIME and XD use the CPU only.
I don’t know if this is relevant to the v6.9 save failure problem. The failure to use the NVIDIA card for DeepPRIME is a recent issue. Earlier versions of PhotoLab (possibly even v6.8 initially) always used the card. V6.8 sees the card but will not use it even if it is specifically selected in Setup.
Many thanks for the links. I have submitted a report to DxO Support as you suggested.
I had seen the contents of your first link but not the second. It appears there are a number of people experiencing problems with NVIDEA cards.
I have had to revert to v6.0 (nearly a year old now) as I failed to keep v6.1 to v6.7 install programs (I live and learn).
If anyone reading this has a copy of v6.7 installer that they are willing to provide a link to, I would be most grateful. If not I will need to stick to v6.0 until DxO hopefully sort out this mess.
I have the 6.7 installer for Windows but I no longer have access to dropbox to upload such a large file. If you have some place where I can upload it I can send it to you.
Unfortunately I don’t know of a way it can be done without DropBox or similar. I will do a little research and see if there is some easy way way to do it. I will get back to you if I find one.
Best wishes

Do you have a Google account? If so then you have a Google Drive, which is the same thing as Dropbox.
My name is Mark, not John. Try this link from my Google drive. This is actually the first time I’ve done this since I always used DropBox. Hopefully it works. Let me know.
Since it is an executable file and too large for Google to scan for viruses they will warn you before allowing you to download it. This executable file was downloaded from DxO and installed on my Windows 10 computer, however, I take no responsibility for this file once I uploaded it to Google drive. Use it at your own risk.
No problem. I just granted you access. Let me know if you are able to install it successfully. I have all the backups but they all have the same file name. Let me know if I inadvertently sent you the wrong version.
I installed v6.7 (thanks again Mark) and can confirm that it uses my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 video card correctly.
Canon R5 RAW files processed with DeepPRIME XD save in 49 seconds with v6.7 compared to around 9 minutes 30 seconds with v6.8 (which only uses the CPU).
v6.9 save feature fails completely with DeepPRIME and XD as per my initial post.
Thanks to everyone who helped/gave advice in response to my post.
Slight misunderstanding I think. V6.8 does NOT recognise my NVIDIA GPU. Although the program ‘sees’ the card in setup it fails to use it even if I select it as the default. v6.7 works fine with the GPU.
I can save DeepPRIME and XD files in v6.8 but it takes an eternity to process as only the CPU is used.
V6.9 displays an error message when trying to save DeepPRIME and XD files, so I have no idea if it is trying to use the video card or not.
I’m seeing the same behaviour as above - i.e. 6.9 fails to export DeepPrime at all. 6.8 works but with very slow exports so I suspect it’s using my CPU instead of my NVIDIA GPU. Unfortunately I didn’t save a copy of 6.7 to try it out. Does anyone have a spare copy on their hard drive that they can share?
There is a copy available on the following dropbox link. The copy was provided to me by Mark Silvers and I have installed it successfully.
I have modified the file name to include ‘v6.7’ and the dropbox file is a ZIP which contains the executable program. Let me know if the link does not work.
