Having a problem with all the new Affinity programs but mostly Publisher 2. I use an up to date laptop with 24" monitor attached, Win 11. Publisher keeps shrinking to a taskbar icon and won't come back up on screen again. All three programs won't adjust window size no matter what I do. I turned off Window's annoying "hidden taskbar" but that doesn't help. I can't get it to show the entire Publish screen no matter what, and when I do try to adjust things (resize the Affinity window) it just folds up and quits. This maybe a Win or screen setting but I run dozens of other graphics/publish software and no problems with any of them. Recommendations please? I'm a long-time user of Serif/Affinity, I don't want to give up!! Thanks. Scratch this...my "duh" moment for the day....I had scaling too high for my poor failing old eyes and Affinity just didn't like it. I set the Win scaling back and it works fine. I can't see much it's so tiny, but it works as it should. I need new eyes, not new software. Thanks.

Very helpful, thanks people!

Have been using Serif/Affinity software for many years and have no problems with the PC versions. But it's time to upgrade hardware and I'm considering the new M1 Mac. It is available with 8gb RAM or 16gb for extra charge. Has anyone had any experience with Affinity on the new Mac and can recommend if the extra memory is worth the extra cost? The conventional thinking for PCs is that more RAM is always better, but the Apple IOS is supposed to be a lot more efficient than Windows. Any advice appreciated!
