I'm using Windows 10. 

The last two versions of Affinity Photo things got slower and slower, now it's unusable.

I like Photo, what can be done??

Deactivating the hardware acceleration may help. Go to Edit --> Preferences --> Performance and untick OpenCl acceleration.

Are you talking about general speed or startup? Using AP was not slow before or is now either (for me), but the 1.9 versions took a TON of time to start up, and now this is even slower. It seems to use like 1 core for a minute, but it's jumping from 1 core to the next every second or something. And EVERYTHING is slow, the whole PC is unusable in that time. I have never seen a program doing that. And I have a fast PC and fast SSDs. My bet still is that there is some issue with font loading or something where it also parses a large XML or similar and is just busy traversing the file up and down.

 

(I mean for THAT bug I at least have a workaround. Open AP, go make coffee, and then don't close it again for the whole day). But still it is annoying if you quickly want to edit something and haven't opened it yet, and you sit there, waiting for it to complete startup.

Hello @Wuzz62 and welcome to the forums.

Make sure the GPU driver and Windows are up to date.

Please check also with sfc if Windows system components are damaged. 
To do this, right-click on the Windows Start menu icon. Select CMD (Administrator). In the new window, type sfc /scannow and confirm with Enter.
