I totally agree. Programs should save to the location loaded from. Mine doesn't even remember the drive, let alone the exact location. It goes back to the system's download folder!

SOLVED. Reinstalled using affinity-photo-msi-2.0.4.exe and it is working now. Thank you so much!!

Will try that. Thank you.

Blocking the firewall had no effect.

I have the same issue. Tried updating the dotNet components. No joy.

I am having the same problem. Tried to use the Stock option in AP2. I have checked the I understand option and read the terms and conditions. I have signed up in Pexels. I can get the photos on the Pexels web site but not in AP2. What am I doing wrong? Tried searching (entering, for example, "cat" and pressing enter) in the Pexels and Pixabey but get no results from either one. Same lack of results from APbeta. IT DOES WORK CORRECTLY FROM AP1.

Unfortunately, no, I never received a cure, but tried all the suggestions. I have re-installed, updated Affinity, changed computers and, of course, changed keyboard to no avail. In changing to a new computer, also ditched the mini keyboard. I have gotten so used to it, I save my work and restart as a matter of course. I am not happy with this inconvenience, but as I said, it is a bargain-priced software.

Donald, Just so I know where I might look for a solution: Would you please tell me if you have a mini keyboard installed? I'm very frustrated by this. As an example, I will have been saving the file all along as I work, only to find out the keystrokes aren't working. Grrrr.... And it is hard to believe that we are the only two folks this is happening to. I realize I bought a bargain-priced software, but I still expect it to work! Joan

Hi Donald, I have not had time to see if it is affected by a different user name, though, I confess, I really don't want to. Misery loves company and I'm sort-of happy to see someone else having these difficulties. Joan

When the keystrokes quit in AP, the mini keyboard would not work either.

The problem keystrokes are associated in the AP keyboard shortcut settings and I am using the default keyboard that came with AP. There is a standard keyboard installed. Was using an old Omni keyboard, but switched it out for a generic Dell, then a Packard Bell from the thrift store! Now the system says I'm using a generic keyboard and driver, BUT also have a "mini keyboard" installed. I uninstalled it but it returned when I plugged the USB interface back in. It is a small remote keyboard used primarily to update an internet page I am tasked with keeping tabs on, even when I'm not near the computer. I didn't associate it with a keyboard as I don't use that function. Made by FAVI Entertainment Could that be it? Doesn't seem likely but... fe01_(with-backlight).pdf

Sigh. It did it again so, I ran sfc/scannow and it gave this message when finished, "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." Any other suggestions?

The last option was the easiest so I tried it first (uninstalling keyboard). I don't know if it worked yet, but I somehow ended up with about six different keyboard installed!

I will try your suggestions. Thank you!! The answer will not be immediate as AP sometimes plays nice with the keyboard and sometimes not.

No, I do not. Of course, Windows comes with Ctrl-c, Ctrl-v etc. working.
