Failed to load document : [doc name] - Acces to the document's file was lost while performing initial loading.\n\nThe document must now be closed

Hi, so recently I have reset my widows, meaning completely removed all files. I backed-up most of my .asdesign files.

My problem is that every time I try to save a file, (even a completely blank one) it does let me save it, but after I have saved it, a pop-up saying:

Failed to load document : [doc name] - Acces to the document's file was lost while performing initial loading.\n\nThe document must now be closed

And then I click close. It does this with every .asdesign file i save. I can't open the file afterwards either. Then it's just corrupted. I use sRGB btw. I can still open old documents (The ones that I backed-up from before the reset)

I've seen 2 other posts about the same message/pop-up, but it didn't match my problem: they tried to open a file. I've reinstalled Designer 3 times and made sure it didn't leave any files. I've tried many things. It really sucks. 

Here is an example of a file: example.afdesign, but as i said it happens to all files.

And this is the 2 pop-ups i get when trying to open fx. example.afdesign

Pls help me:)

Many thanks.

PS. feel free to ask for any more information, cause I'm desperate and really need this to be solved;)

Don't know if it is the same on your machine but after downloading and doing a Get Info on the document I am told it is Zero Bytes in size.

Yes it is zero bytes i believe. 

It's just the problem that it happens to all my files, even non zero byte.

So yea i basically can't use affinity designer right now:/

Can you please let me know if you are opening these files from a local drive or is it from an external/cloud storage location, can you also check the permissions of the location that you are trying to save too as it may have restrictions.
