Remove the app that you downloaded from MS store. 2. Download the trial version of Affinity Photo 1.9. Install it and run it in trial mode. Close the app. 3. Connect to MS store and download your copy of Affinity Photo. After Install finishes you run the app. Register your software and download the free offers. 4. You can now remove the trial app that you downloaded and installed from the oficial web site. 5. Have fun with your registered app bought in the MS store. The end. That did the trick. The link below is from another thread on this topic. We’re Sorry. Something went wrong during registration or sign-inWe’ve had reports that users who have been getting this error in the Microsoft Store version of our apps have been able to fix this by downloading the beta build of the app and signing into their account using that build. Once they've done this they can then go back into the Microsoft Store version and sign in without any issues. If you’re issue is not listed above, please try the latest beta builds and see if the issue is resolved. If not, please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keiko Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Hello! I am having the same issue for all of my Affinity products. I bought the software last year and with this update I tried to sign in via the apps but it gives me an error about connecting to the server. My store version is: 12011.1001.1.0 I'm only running Windows Defender And I am not sure what my runtimebroker is. I tried searching for it but nothing is showing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.S Lee Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 I bought affinity photo & affinity designer on Microsoft Store and faced same log-in problem. After upgrade to Version. 1.9.0.932 via Microsoft Store and its upgrade, Files.json file appears in AppData/Local/Temp/Affinity/Photo/1.0(Store)/AffinityDownloadCache. I think this problem is related to this Files.json in 1.0(Store) folder.(previous version doesn't make this file before) Is there a proper Files.json required for 1.9(Store) or something?

Pim197 Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 This fix works but should not be the final solution. Hope that a solution will come soon via an update, without effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually did not need to uninstall the MS Store Apps. I installed the Affinity Photo Trial (did not even activate it), then I was able to get all 3 Affinity MS Store Apps to work. Then I uninstalled the Trial. Restarted the PC just to be sure everything stuck.; which it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Peaks Media Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I am having the same issue after reinstalling. I actually uninstalled because affinity was crashing continually - fixed it by turning off hardware acceleration. But now I am unable to login/register after the fresh install.

Nice to meet you. I was having the same problem and I found this post with your solution and it works well! If you run the apps as an Administrator works well. I just installed the app in my new laptop and I couldn't sing up in any of the three apps. Thank you so much. Greetings from Spain.
