Thanks! I will try it!

I was having issues with slow windows start up and Affinity Photo giving me constant " not responding " messages. Once Windows finally started completely all my other programs worked fine. Lightroom, krita, etc, but Affinity Photo was unusable! I decided to replace my spinning hard drive with a new SSD drive and install a clean windows 10. Laptop works great now and I scaled back my programs to just Lightroom and Affinity Photo. Computer starts up and is ready to go in about a minute and Lightroom is super fast, but Affinity Photo continually hangs up with the " not responding" message. What could be the issue? Thanks,

I haven't tried changing to warp. I had tried using AP before while making sure there were no other apps opened, but as I said previously it wasn't opening at all in safe mode. However, I tried the holding down control while opening the app and reset account data and the app worked better. I initially got a " not responding " issue when I tried to denoise a photo, but after that it never came up again. However, although I realize denoise is demanding ( I guess) the app as a whole is very slow. This may be my computer. quite a bit of sitting a waiting for task to complete. But definitely better with fewer " not responding" hick ups! Not fast enough for me to do anything much more than working on a few photos for HDR or stitching. I could not do batch editing at this speed. Lightroom 5 still performs great for my sports freelance work. Thanks again!

I will try this when I get home tonight. Thanks!!

Thanks for replying. I don't have any of these third party apps. I still don't understand why it won't even open in Safe mode.

Asus laptop Intel(R) core( TM) i7 CPU 2.50GHZ-2.59 GHZ 12GB ram 64bit windows 10 1 TB hard drive I can open affinity Photo, but as I try to make adjustments to the photo the app constantly freezes and shows" not responding" at the top of the window. eventually it starts working again, but it will do it almost every adjustment I try to make. I watched the task manager and the CPU maxes out during the Not Responding and when the CPU finally drops the app starts working again. I have tried reinstalling the drivers. The graphics card is a GEForce 940M. It has been doing this with older versions too, but seems worse now. I tried opening AP in safe mode, but the start window pops up and then disappears. All other apps open fine. Thanks for answering.

I am having the same issues with AP that a lot of people are having and it has made it unusable. Constantly " NOT RESPONDING". I have the newest version 1.10. However it was doing it with previous versions as well. I have unchecked the Enable open cl and that did not change anything. Then I switched to safe mode and the app starts to open and then disappears. I can open any other app including Krita and lightroom 5. Should I delete the app and reinstall. Will my log in reregister me?
