Crash during bug report - won't start anymore

[Flayn]

Affinity crashed when I used the photo stacking function

After starting again a bug report window was displayed

I clicked submit, which caused an instant crash

Now affinity wont start anymore

I tried uninstall and reinstall of the latest and previous versions, nothing helped.

Hold CTRL if you start Photo.

Thanks for responding, but it still won't start

Ok, let's see if there is a crash report.

Press Windows key + R. Copy & Paste or type %AppData%\Affinity\photo\1.0\Crashreports\reports. Click OK or press Enter.

If there is more than one .dmp file in the folder, please attach the file with the latest timestamp to the next post. The log.txt is also of interest. You can find it in the folder 1.0.

What else you can do: Rename the folder 1.0 to e.g. 1.0_bkup. Then restart APhoto.

When APhoto should start, go to the preferences --> performance in APhoto and deactivate the hardware acceleration.

There is no crashreport and renaming the folder did not help.

Maybe it could be related to a windows update that I just installed? I installed KB5003637, KB4023057 and the .NET Core security path 3.1.16 via windows update.

 

I also found several entries in the EventViewer. 

Most of them are from my starts of affinity

This one might also be interesting:

So, after collecting all the info for the post above I tried "one last time" to install the latest version.

Now it is working!!!

I dont know why, but I can live with that.

Thanks for helping komatös and greetings from Dortmund
