Affinity Designer V2 Crashes upon New file or open file

[PD1234]

Just purchased affinity Designer 2.0 and gutted 😞

Loads up fine to start, opens first file and I can print like nothing wrong, but open second file and it takes ages and freezes Designer completely.

I have to end task to close program and re-load to use it again once before I repeat.

No crash report - empty?

My system - Dell
Processor    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10700 CPU @ 2.90GHz   2.90 GHz
Installed RAM    32.0 GB (31.7 GB usable)
System type    64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Windows 11 fully updated

Using NVIDIA

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Strange but if I open a file folder and select file open with AD2 it seems to be working so far, but if you open file within affinity via File, Open, select file, this is when it freezes, it would seem on the surface to be an open file issue? 

Anyone else having the same sort of issue?

Strange but if I open a file folder and select file open with AD2 it seems to be working so far - Actually Nope! that now freezes the file window box from where the file came from?

I've ran SFC /scannow and fixed a a couple of corrupt files on the system 

I've ran DISM /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

But still got the same crashing when opening files

Affinty is the only software im having problems with everything else seems to work fine, it's not an old system so wouldn't expect problems.

are you opening files from a location which has cloud services enabled ?

on the first report you mention printing - do the errors occur if you dont print?

Finally try disabling Hardware acceleration in preferences / Performance
