    We are adding better logging to try to query this sort of event. This is of course very helpful to know, so is there anything unusual you could tell us about your internet access (network, proxy firewall?)

    Try running APh, AD and APu as Administrator. It worked for me. Once logged in to Affinity, you can close AD and re-open as standard user, and the registration remains.

    Affinity Designer will display the progress bar and seem like it's searching for something, then crash when attempting to link the product with my account. It doesn't even ask for an account e-mail or anything... not sure if it's supposed to do that or if it's trying to pull it from my browser? In any case it's definitely not working on my machine.

    @Patrick Connor @walt.farrellNothing unusual. No proxy, firewall setting identical to the PC which doesn't have the problem. DNS settings identical. Windows Defender settings the same on both. I am a MS insider so know where to poke around looking for differences. And no, the 2 PC's are not running Insider OS's, but the current Windows release: (Insider versions run on other hardware for obvious reasons)
    Edition    Windows 10 Pro
    Version    20H2
    Installed on    ‎2020/10/‎25
    OS build    19042.572
    Experience    Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0

  4. Hi all,

    This is somewhat OT, but I searched all forums and found no suitable answer. Trying to download the current Designer Beta from the Amazon AWS site, but it is telling me there are still 6 hours to go. It is running at 17KB/s. My network is 100Mbit/sec download, 50Mbit/sec upload. Everything is currently running very close to those speeds, except the Designer download.

    Apologies if this is the incorrect forum to post this query.

  5. To remove arrows from shortcut icons with Ultimate Windows Tweaker, (https://www.thewindowsclub.com/ultimate-windows-tweaker-4-windows-10) choose the Customization section on the left, click the File Explorer tab, and then click “Remove Shortcut Arrows From Shortcut Icons.” To put them back, follow the same process. There is also a Registry tweak but this more complicated. N.B. Use at your own risk!
