I did not install this via the microsoft store, but directly from serif (v 2.5.0 from the automatic updater) and receive a .NET application exception during the load of fonts, keeping the software from launching. Where can I download 2.5.1 to give it a try?
In case it helps: my system is win 11 (23H2), i9-13900ks, 64G, RTX 4080 (552.44)
The exception thrown is:
Application: Photo.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.Runtime.InteropServices.SEHException

This affects all three pieces of software, Photo, Designer and Publisher.
