Affinity 2 Publisher on Win 11

[rtownley001]

Having a problem with all the new Affinity programs but mostly Publisher 2. I use an up to date laptop with 24" monitor attached, Win 11. Publisher keeps shrinking to a taskbar icon and won't come back up on screen again. All three programs won't adjust window size no matter what I do. I turned off Window's annoying "hidden taskbar" but that doesn't help. I can't get it to show the entire Publish screen no matter what, and when I do try to adjust things (resize the Affinity window) it just folds up and quits. This maybe a Win or screen setting but I run dozens of other graphics/publish software and no problems with any of them. Recommendations please? I'm a long-time user of Serif/Affinity, I don't want to give up!! Thanks.

Scratch this...my "duh" moment for the day....I had scaling too high for my poor failing old eyes and Affinity just didn't like it. I set the Win scaling back and it works fine. I can't see much it's so tiny, but it works as it should. I need new eyes, not new software. Thanks.

Hi @rtownley001

Sometimes the error sits 50 cm in front of the screen. 😉

But good that you had found the error yourself. 👍

What scaling had you set? It will work with increased scaling, but it's best to use somewhat standard values like 125% or possibly 150%.
