Can't Edit Layers

[Annabelle]

I've been using Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer, and lately, for some reason, when I go to move around the layers, the app will close. Is there a reason or a fix for this?

On the bright side though, now I have good 'save-as-you-go' habits.

Which OS do you use, where did you install the applications from, and what application release do you currently have?

I'm on Windows. Downloaded from the Microsoft Store. I have the Affinity V2 Universal License.

Thanks.

And application release? 

Help > About will show that, or you can look in the upper-right of the Account dialog within the application.

HI @Annabelle,

This isn't something I've been able to replicate with my MS Store install of Affinity.

Can you try disabling hardware acceleration by clicking Edit>Settings>Performance and untick hardware acceleration at the bottom of this window, close Settings and you'll be asked to restart Affinity.  Once restarted, see if you can replicate the issue.

@stokerg Oh my wow-that seems to have worked! Thanks so much! Appreciate all the quick help
