For some reason I'm unable to open any of the Affinity applications I own, i.e. Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher all fail to start in 64 bit Windows 10 Home. When I try to open any of those applications, the icon flashes quickly in the task bar and then disappears and I get no error messages.
However, each time I try to open the application a dmp-file is created in:
%AppData%\Roaming\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\CrashReports\reports
%AppData%\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0\CrashReports\reports
%AppData%\Roaming\Affinity\Designer\1.0\CrashReports\reports
Here are examples of the dump files:

I have tried uninstalling the applications and reinstalling them, rebooting the computer after removing and reinstalling the apps. Also tried repairing the installation with the installation applications, but nothing has helped.
I'm not sure if Windows updates are causing this, but these were applied yesterday and at least one of them is related to .net framework.
Could that be causing the problems as the only dmp files I can find in those folders have been created today, i.e. after the updates from yesterday, and this is the first time I'm experiencing these problems?
Any other suggestions I could try to get the apps working?
