You've posted this in a thread for v2 bugs, but it looks like you're still using v1.

It's a known bug in v1 which is caused by a recent Windows update. If you search the forums there are already several threads with instructions on how to remove the update.

(FWIW: this problem does not seem to affect v2. Also, I would suggest editing your video so that it does not show your email address at the end!)

Here is the FAQ about this crash:

Can you confirm that you are using V1 and simply posted in the wrong part of the forum? If so, a Moderator can move this topic to the correct forum location.

Yeah it is v1 I think. I didn't know there is v1 v2. But there I can't see these updates as removal. I've only KB5020622 and KB5019980 on the list.

Since Microsoft does not currently offer a patch for this bug in the .NET component, but you may leave security holes in your system by deleting the update, I recommend the following solution:

• Open the directory in which the Affinity programmes are installed. As a rule, C:\Programme\Affinity\(Desinger ...Photo ...Publisher)
• Search and open the .exe.config file (for example Designer.exe.config) with a text editor.
• Search for "<add key="IsVirtualizingStackPanel_45Compatible" value="true"/>"
• Replace the value true with the value false.
• Save the file (administrative rights are required to overwrite!)

By turning off the compatibility, you may notice a reduced display speed when scrolling, but more likely not.

This works. Thank you
