Since yesterday, Affinity Designer is broken for me on version 2.2.1. The UI freezes and is stuck on a full-core load (single core) even after terminating the task in Task manager. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app (MSIX) did not resolve the issue. I also tried repairing. It seems to have to do with Windows PowerToys from the look of taskmanager, so I updated PowerToys to 0.75.1. It's weird because I haven't updated PowerToys yesterday... E1: Time to uninstall PowerToys... E2: That fixed the issue, but it's not a long term solution for me. E3: The SVG thumbnails in the recent file window appear to be the culprit with SVG icon preview enabled in the File Explorer Add-ons section of PowerToys. I had several SVG thumbnails in recent files that failed to render. Disabling this specific module was enough to get it to work again.

Again new to AP iPad I have twice come across a glitch where the app freezes on a page that looks like lined white notepaper. Top it says "Choose a new location to add this item". Left there is an unclickable blue "Cancel" prompt; right an unclickable grey "Add" prompt. Then the image file in the middle top. Last time this happened I had no choice but delete the app and reload it from the app store. Can someone explain why this is happening as I try to save the image.
