Affinity Designer wont start


Recommended Posts

Hi Support Team,

Affinity Designer 1.7.2 wont start on Win 10 Pro 1903 build 18362.356

what I tried:

uninstalled / reinstalled 

uninstalled, delete install directory, delete all Affinity reg keys

tried start in elevated mode

Installation went thru without any error message

Application log shows no error

System log shoes no error

No Crashdump file created in \AppData\Local\CrashDumps

I had a crash with older Version of Affinity Designer after that I couldn't start the application (had an error message). I then uninstalled this version and tried install current version

Crash dump of older version included (maybe helps understanding the issue)

thanks in advance

Chris

Hi Chris7,

Welcome to the forums :)

We've seen a few reports of Affinity apps not loading since the latest Windows update, KB4515384. We're currently recommending to uninstall this update, as this should resolve the issue for you.

For more info please see here -

I am not a lawyer, but giving advice to uninstall a Security Update (https://support.microsoft.com/de-de/help/4515384/windows-10-update-kb4515384) may bring Serif into trouble?

Edit: I read the guidelines ;)

It's user choice as to whether they uninstall the update, and many users have reported that uninstalling and then reinstalling the update also fixes the issue.

We'd certainly hope not! This is simply legal coverage which is in place for all users, including moderators.

We're here to help, any suggestions we offer will always be the best solution (to our knowledge) and we try to make sure this is as safe and easy as possible - as there are literally endless possibilities when it comes to PC hardware, software and the internet in general - we have to make sure we are legally covered for certain events.
