Windows update KB5013943 on Windows 11 makes all Affinity apps stop working


Recommended Posts

Cheers everyone.

As title suggest, today's stable update released by Microsoft for Windows 11 (Pro) made all of my Affinity applications stop working. All I get is error 0xc000135 when I try to open Designer or Photo. When I Google search that code I get that it's NET framework and compatibility related. However, from the 3 updates, installing or uninstalling the NET Framework ones dosen't affect Affinity. It still works as it should. I've narrowed it down to this cumulative KB5013943 update that causes the issue. If I don't install that one, everything works.

The compatibility troubleshooter did nothing useful, to no surprise. I don't know if this is specific to my machine, so someone else please chime in. Meanwhile I'm keeping that update paused from installing.

Hi @Pandovski,

Thanks for your report and I'm sorry to see you're having trouble!

Firstly, I have removed 2 screenshots from your post, as they contain the email address used for your microsoft account and I would not wish for this to be publicly available.

Secondly, I have installed this update here on my Win11 machine and the Affinity apps still load and run as expected for me.

Therefore I would like to request you run the following .NET repair tool, restart your system and then try running the apps again -

Does this change the observed behaviour please? :)

Please note -

I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible.

Many thanks!
