redesigned Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) PLEASE HELP: All Affinity Products Stopped Opening on Windows 10 I have a Surface 7 Pro with 2 external monitors and have been using Affinity products on it for some time. I've purchased all three Affinity products and been quite happy with them, up until now... Went to open them today and none of them will open, all have a very brief loading cursor then nothing at all. 😞Nothing in: %APPDATA%\Affinity\Designer\1.0\Log.txt 0KB %APPDATA%\Affinity\Photo\1.0\Log.txt 0KB %APPDATA%\Affinity\Publisher\1.0\Log.txt 0KB Windows 10 20215.1000 Intel Iris Plus Graphics 27.20.100.8681 Affinity Designer 1.8.5 but also affects Affinity Photo 1.8.5 and Affinity Publisher 1.8.5. All were working just fine up until today. I've restarted several times. Tried without the external monitors attached. Etc. Nothing seems to help at all. I have none of the known third party apps that cause issues. I replaced the Intel Iris Plus graphic drivers with the latest version from Intel and that did not help either.PLEASE HELP I have work I desperately need to do and I can't even get any of the apps to launch anymore. 😢😭 I need to get this working again ASAP. 🙏 If a developer needs to access my machine remotely to debug that can be arranged.

redesigned Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 I was able to get them to launch again by deleting all windows color calibration profiles and setting all three displays to sRGB IEC1966-2.1 (default), as well as the system default profile to sRGB IEC1966-2.1 and restarting. The surface screen was previously set to the default surface Enhanced profile. It would appear this bug is in working with windows color profiles. Having them all just stop working was quite the scare, hopefully this bug gets fixed soon, I was fortunate enough to stumble on the solution myself by trying everything I could find in any of the forums. Hopefully this information helps the dev team find and fix the bug and anyone else experiencing this issue get going again. Thanks! ❤️ SPaceBar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPaceBar Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Hi @redesigned Thanks for updating us on the solution you used to resolve the issue. Can you tell me what profiles you had them set to that caused the issue please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
