RPC Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 When I type too fast in the font search it crashes affinity designer... The program just instantly quiets, all work is lost and not recovery files are made. Windows 11 22h2 64 Pro latest stable Designer and Up-to-date on windows updates as of 2022-10-17 Maybe it's a font I have installed, but how would I go about finding which one? At the same point that doesn't make sense to me, because if I type really slowly it won't crash... Basic system hardware: Ryzen 5600x Nvidia 1080ti 32GB ram OS and Program drive is a good quality PCI 3.0 NVME drive This is a new thing as of Windows 11 22h2 didn't happen before the update and I haven't installed any new fonts. No other system issues or issues with other programs, sfc /scannow comes back clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 It's a problem caused by some recent Windows updates.

RPC Posted October 17, 2022 Author Share Posted October 17, 2022 Thanks! I always feel silly when the first reply is: it's already been answered, especially when I did search before posting and then I noticed the wording on and face palm: "Why didn't I think of searching for that!"

RPC Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 Though sadly, it seems I don't have the option to uninstall that update... Maybe it's built into windows 22h2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPC Posted October 18, 2022 Author Share Posted October 18, 2022 NM found it, it was in one of the alt numbers at the bottom of the post and I had missed it the first time through. KB5017271 walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroric Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 uninstalling recent versions of windows and the hassle of that does not really seem to me as an acceptable fix? Surely Affinity need to fix their software with an update. I have lost countless work with this and cannot start changing windows versions willynilly!!

As the problem was caused by a Windows update (and affects other software, not just Affinity), I'm not sure that it's entirely up to Serif to solve it! (Although I hope they may be able to do so!) It is hardly Serif's fault if you have lost work (as I have myself) due to a problem with a Windows update, over which they have no control! (Apparently Microsoft are aware of the problem, so, hopefully, they will correct it with a new Window's update in the not too distant future.)
