Chris26 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Hi, Question is in the title. Publisher crashing a little too often over the last week. Quote Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed. Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener. Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Them is percents not asterisks these are Asterisks * aka furry balls. %appdata% is how cmd.exe (and Windows in general) does variables. So %AppData% is the variable name for the application data directory, it's kind of like an abbreviation/shorthand.

Found it, with about 15 dump files, though none of them are dated for the last two days oddly when affinity pub crashed a number of times. Just wanted to see if there was anything there.
