Try deleting all the files in the Lens Profiles settings (C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Picture Window Pro\Lens Profiles. This will force PWP to rebuild the lens profiles using the latest database.

After deleting all files in the folder, the problem persists.

It looks OK here. Can you tell me what are the names, sizes and dates of the files in your Lens Profiles folder?

NIKKOR Z 24-200mm f_4-6.3 VR.lens profile is incorrect (the two index files look OK) -- try deleting it and doing a Raw Develop again.

I tried on a different computer ( laptop ) and the same problem is reproduced.

I think the problem may have to do with the installer leaving some old files around when installing the new lens profile data. One last thing to try -- delete both the Lens Profile and the LensFun/db folders and then re-install PWP.
