Just like Mugge in a previous post, all of a sudden everything works. I didnt need to update graphics driver or anything...it just started working fine.

ok folks, I dont know what happened, but 1.85 is working properly again. I still have not upgraded again to 1.9 because i have projects to finish first. The issues I was having are no longer there and all is well so far. thanks for all the help, you a wonderful folks!!!

It seems that there are a huge variety of issues with this update - some folks are having issue with laptops - but when they download to desktop they have no issues. Some have issues with all products, some with only one or two. There doesnt seem to be a pattern that I can see yet, just know that Affinity has a huge headache in their lap because for most folks like me, there was no issues until the update. I have several project to complete and this update didn't help at all.

There is a major issue with the 1.9 update. For many folks including me, all products are not functioning properly - For instance, I upgraded Photo and Designer to 1.9 in Win 10 pro. Photo is doing fine, but Designer crashes after the splash screen. I couldnt even close the program without using task manager to close it. I uninstalled 1.9 and reinstalled 1.85 and now have the same issue which I did not have before. I found a workaround - if you leave the splash screen open and drop in a previous file you created, it works fine, even in saving files. But if I need a new document of any kind, I cannot do so because Designer will freeze up every time.

Additional info: I have found in my case that if I open Designer and leave splash screen up, I can drag in a previous project and modify it to a new project if I have the page size already in another project and save it with no problem. At least I can do my work with this workaround. What really get me is that now it affects earlier versions as well - I using 1.85 now and this seems to work ok for now...They really have an issue with this on all of the products with this upgrade...seems to be a disaster for them.

Yes apparently this upgrade is really bad. My photo is doing fine as far as I know, but Designer, which I use the most, starts up with splash screen just fine. However when I try to create a new file, it freezes on me. What is funny though, is if I leave the splash screen up and then drag a previous file in, it works just fine and I can save my work - this is at least an operation workaround to get my work done, but they are going to have to fix this very badly. Apparently there are major issues with this upgrade.

I made a mistake in my post. I put publisher when it was actually Designer i am having issues with. When I upgraded to 1.9 from 1.85, all went well with the update..no errors - I also downloaded all free content as well and rebooted my system. However, when I start Designer up, I do get the splash screen, no problem. - What I have found is that when I try to open a new document, Designer freezes. I uninstalled 1.9 and reinstalled 1.85...now I have the same issue with it. I have found however, if I load a document I have already created, It opens and I can edit normally. I also noticed that Designer loads two copies in Task manager along with a crash report process also. I upgraded Photo to 1.9 and have no issues...it works fine so far. I currently have Designer 1.85 still loaded on my system.

I upgraded to 1.9.0 just now, and it freezes up after opening. Cannot create a new document or anything...and I have to use control panel to close it...will not close at all. Did not have this issue with Photo after upgrading to 1.9 as well...it works fine.
