Adobe Premiere Elements 14.1 Update
http://blogs.adobe.com/contentcorner/2015/12/18/adobe-premiere-elements-14-1-update/
To date Premiere Elements 4, 7, 10, 11, 15, and 2018 each does not have an updated version. Depending on the circumstances and generalizing, Adobe seems to consider "Fix in the next version" for some issues in any already released current version.
Version downloads are obtained in

COMMENTARY
As an aside, curious issue was found with regard to installing the Photoshop Elements 13.1 Update when the computer had installed on it both Photoshop Elements 13 and 14. Basically,
Photoshop Elements 13.1 would not install on Windows 7 or 10 64 bit computers which had installed on themThe troubleshooting details for this situation are found HERE and point to the following suggestion
- Photoshop Elements 13
.......if Photoshop Elements 13 and 14 are on the same computer, do not update Photoshop Elements 14 to 14.1 if Photoshop Elements 13.1 is wanted.Premiere Elements was not implicated in this matter.
