SrPx Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The typical advice is to disable Hardware acceleration - Open CL in Preferences/Performance. Also, be sure to have your graphics card driver up to date, meaning, uninstalling fully the old driver, reboot and install the new driver, reboot and run then the Affinity application. Also, to be sure to have all your Windows Updates applied until it says "no more updates available". These are the typical main three things for cases like this. It's also a good measure to run a pair of command line utilities, SFC and DISM. Extremely easy if are familiar with CMD, the command line console in Windows, but it scares people not knowing a thing about it. These two utilities fix some issues with corrupt files in Windows. But the main things to check are the above paragraphs ones. Mostly even in that order. In many cases it is fixed just by disabling the Open CL thing in preferences. Quote AD, AP and APub V2.5.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichardMH Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 If you have Nvidia GPU there is a clean install option. A but easier than reinstalling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael_H Posted January 3, 2023 Author Share Posted January 3, 2023 Thanks Richard, I just have an intel gpu. I set it to WARP in Affinity renderer options, and it seems to be stable. I'll use it a few more days and mark as closed. Appreciate your time too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
