I am a new user to Affinity Pro 2 and I am trying it out as an alternative to Photoshop. I just finished downloading the app on my windows computer. Anytime I try to open a photo of any type the program goes “not responding” and eventually crashes. This happens no matter what type of photo I open or where it’s located on my computer. I’ve tried resetting the app multiple times, I’ve tried updating my computer, I’ve tried restarting the computer multiple times, and nothing seems to work.

I've just bought a new used pc and am having issues with freezing and crashing. Attached is the only crash report that's been generated, from a crash when in the Tone Mapping persona. The freezing seems to be random, though the system isn't using more than about 2.5gb of memory when AP is working, and about 600mb when idle. The cpu is being pushed to 100% though sometimes, when loading an image into a persona, such as when initially opening a RAW image, or changing to the Tone Mapping persona. I also have this Nvidia driver event: Driver Management has concluded the process to add Service NVDisplay.ContainerLocalSystem for Device Instance ID PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_1402&SUBSYS_86DC1043&REV_A1\4&2D78AB8F&0&0008 with the following status: 0. i5 6400 2.7ghz 8gb RAM Sata os drive Nvidia GTX950 Windows 10 Home 21H1 0db8dddf-9895-48fe-b35c-cffbcd9aca73.dmp
