It's been a couple of days and I managed to fix all the issues (for now) on my end and finish the book. I'm not sure what did it exactly, but I made sure to note down all my steps. Keep in mind that before this, I already cleared user data and reinstalled AP several times, as well as made sure Windows and all my drivers were up to date. Clear User Data (On Windows, hold control when starting AP and keep holding it until the software has opened, make sure everything is cleared) Uninstall Affinity Publisher Reinstall Affinity Publisher (2.2.1, via MSIX installer) Clear User Data again (make sure that ALL boxes are checked and EVERYTHING is cleared) Open AP, enter your credentials. Presto. Ever since I did this, I've had no crashes or authentication issues.

Hi and thanks! Affinity Publisher is the only Affinity software (V2 or otherwise) I've installed and I'm fairly certain that I've never installed it via EXE, unless the original test download hands you the EXE. I've read your posts in this forum regarding the EXE and MSIX installer issues, so I went and made sure that I've only used the MSIX so far. I have some additional ideas to try and wrangle the issue, in case something has been corrupted so far. I'll try my luck once I have time and, if it works, I'll report back for others with similar issues to try their hand.

Hi everyone. Ever since the 2.2.1 update, the app has become completely unusable. It will crash constantly, often within seconds after startup, even with no file loaded. I'm on Windows 11 with all updates, including drivers, up to date and this behavior only started after updating from 2.1.7 to 2.2.1. The original install was via MSIX and I tried reinstalling it and clearing all preferences with zero effect. It even crashes on the constantly reappearing and broken License Activation screen. Is there any way to at least downgrade to a functioning version?
