vkvisuals Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Affinity Designer 1.10.5.1342 on Windows crashing when trying to search font in character studio and on top bar when using text tool. Maybe it's because of some font, but how to know which one? cbcd235f-4de3-48a0-aca3-fbb79b614e3c.dmp cbcd235f-4de3-48a0-aca3-fbb79b614e3c.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timespider Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I am having this issue and it is bloody annoying. I don't have any of these updates (KB5017264 or KB5017262 or KB5017859)) running Windows 11. Is there any other fix? Quote Motto - STUPID HURTS!

Nope, nothing to worry about at the moment if all of your other (non-Affinity) apps are working correctly It will likely be replaced by another Windows update in the future anyway Timespider 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

I uninstall KB5017271 update but still affinity designer crash while searching font. It's been 4 days since you were advised to remove that update. Please first check your Update History for any additional updates since you last checked If you find any please advise what they are. If none are found you can try uninstalling KB5017389 and running the .NET repair tool as advised in the post below. Unfortunately, the OP in that thread did not report back whether that resolved their problem or not. Please report back your findings as it can help others experiencing this issue Dan C 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
