You're right thank you! It worked after a second attempt. Unfortunately I don't have Intel drivers updates available on my system.

Unfortunately Photo and Designer still crashes on me on the splashscreen with this beta version as I've described here. Where can I find download links for 1.8.x?

Sorry the late reply. Here it goes: [DXCore] Found 2 adapters Intel(R) HD Graphics 630 Version: 23.20.16.4974 IsHardware: Yes Supports D3D12 Feature Level 12.0: Yes HardwareID: PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_5912&SUBSYS_86940000&REV_04 LUID: 0xB75C Microsoft Basic Render Driver Version: 10.0.19041.546 IsHardware: No Supports D3D12 Feature Level 12.0: Yes HardwareID: PCI\VEN_1414&DEV_008C&SUBSYS_00000000&REV_00 LUID: 0xBBCA I've the latest Intel update installed.

Press Windows Key + R and run eventvwr On the left sidebar, open up Windows Logs > Application. That's where you get the log list. Try opening Affinity Photo again. After failing, refresh the log list by right-clicking on the list and "Refresh". There you probably get a new error entry

I've tried it as suggested here. Unfortunately that didn't fix it for me

Hope these reports help affinity-crash.evtx 2fdb20fa-ed9c-4037-95c0-bab3dff67b7a.dmp

Hi! After upgrading from the latest 1.8 to 1.9 I'm unable to run Affinity Photo (or Designer). I'm not entirely sure if it's the same problem as OP's. Once I run the app, the splashscreen appears and quickly disappears and nothing more. In the Windows Event Viewer, I do get an error log from .NET Runtime (I do have the latest version of it installed). I've tried to fully uninstall both Photo and Designer which I had installed on my PC but it didn't helped
