Albertus Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hello, Again a question about starting problems with Affinity Photo. I received the tip with holding down the Ctrl key during starting and I saw that field. Then the program started normal. Today however it took about 10 minutes to start up. Is it possible to reinstall this programm and how to do this? Greetings, Albert, the Netherlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted April 2, 2018 Share Posted April 2, 2018 Do you have hundreds or thousands of fonts installed, Albert? If so, that can make the program start up significantly more slowly. I see from your earlier posts that you purchased the program from the Microsoft Store. You should see an 'Uninstall' option when you right-click on the program icon: after uninstalling it, simply sign in to the Microsoft Store and install it again.

Albertus Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 Hello Alfred, thank you for this repley. No, I have not installed any fonts to Affinity but on my laptop I have a lot. About the reinstall, if I have the guts, I try it. Thanks again. Albert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonts are not directly installed to the Affinity apps. Like most Windows software, the Affinity apps will use any fonts that have been correctly installed in Windows, so if you have thousands of fonts you should use a font manager to uninstall most of the ones which are not essential to the operating system, and then load (i.e. temporarily install) the fonts that you need for a particular project or set of projects.

Albertus Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 I am working now with the programm but the first thing I do is follow your advice and do something with all the fonts installed on my computer. Just a question to an expert, works this programm better or smoother on an iMac or on a Windows device? Albert. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
