Affinity Photo slower after Windows reinstall


Recommended Posts

Affinity Photo v1.10.6.1665
Windows 10 64-bit Home, fully updated.

I'm not sure if anyone can help with this but I have to inquire:

I recently reinstalled Windows 10, and before I did that, Affinity Photo was working perfectly.
After the reinstall, it is very slow to launch, and when working with photos it's slow with everything I do.
One example: when rotating a photo, it takes a good 20-30 seconds for it to move when I drag a corner.
Another example: when there are multiple photos open, it takes 10 or more seconds to change from one to the other, whether I click the tab or use ctrl+Tab.

I'm just wondering if there's anything I can check that might be making it behave this way.

The computer runs fine, it's just Affinity that's effected.

This computer won't support Windows 11, and I can't afford to upgrade Affinity to v2 (in case that crosses your mind. :)  )

Take a look in Affinity Photo Settings and see if Hardware Acceleration is enabled (Edit > Settings > Performance). If Hardware Acceleration is enabled, disable it and see if that fixes things.

That's exactly what fixed it. Thank you! 👍
