Do we really need that splash screen covering up the downloading rotating box?
This morning (in Canada) on my laptop (Surface Pro 4), the update appeared when queried. I ran it, but it didn't take the first time round. Upon reopening Xara, the box turned to check for updates and it said that the program was up to date. So I queried it again and the update available notice appeared. It worked the second time.
Went to my desktop and it said that the program was up to date, but the version number was still the old one. I'll try again later.
Given the problems that seem to often occur with updates, one should not issue updates just before a weekend, unless one plans to spend the weekend fixing the problems.

HI Acorn, the same behaviour occurs in v11.

Yes!
Now I'm a happy camper. It appears that they fixed the two problems that I raised about using Xara with Movie Edit Pro (or Video Pro X). Using an art brush in the animation (only when accessed from the video editor) would cause Xara to crash. Also, clicking on the button to close and return to the video editor would cause a crash (exiting using the X at top right worked fine).
I will post separately a short video showing an animated brush created through this interface as soon as I get the update onto my desktop. I am hoping that it works on my desktop as well as it is working on my laptop.

First post here, and sorry it is a negative one since I really like Xara Pro 365 and use it every work day... but this latest update has broken my ability to create PDFs in Xara. Bit of a major problem for me, so I reverted to an earlier version of 365 and sure enough PDFs can be produced as before. Just wondered if anyone else is having this problem? I uninstalled and updated twice, but don't fancy doing it again unless/until this problem is solved. Wasted three hours overnight fighting this problem without success.
if you are using windows 10 changing the icon for the program shortcut:
rightclick/properties/shortcut-tab/change-icon and browse to your new icon
but changing the icon for file type [ie the files themselves] requires windows registry changes [or use of a third party utility if you feel brave enough to trust one] - MS removed the means to change file type icons directly a while back - probably because it was fed up of non-technical people who thought they knew what they were doing, 'experimenting' and getting in a mess when they found out they didn't - something I am sure MS must experience a lot of ....

@rover did you right click and run as administrator - that usually fixes issues with file import/export/creation - only need to do it once
or you could install in admin mode, but still may need to do the above
this is all dependent on the permissions that your system is set up for.. beyond xara's control....
