Ive been attempting to use Adobe XD for the past 3 days, unfortunately I keep getting random crashes which makes working impossible to due to constant loss of progress.  I can perform every action without crash, nothing seems to trigger the crash. The crash comes with 3 Error level events seen in the Administrative Events (Event Viewer).

My GPU is up to date.

Windows is up to date(win 10 anniversary)

Reinstalled Adobe XD

Error 1 in order:

Faulting application name: Experience Design CC (Beta).exe, version: 0.6.14.2, time stamp: 0x5894f0b2

Error 2:

The server App.AppX59c1yzvqzmbh0s8emz06z4y84aerrh1f.mca did not register with DCOM within the required timeout.

Error 3:

Activation of app Adobe.CC.XD_adky2gkssdxte!App failed with error: The app didn't start. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

The second and third doesnt appear each time adobexd crashes, but on atleast one of them those errors appeared at the exact same second as error 1 appeared.

Hello,

I have the exact same problem. The moment I launch the app and resize the artboard, it crashes. Sometimes I draw a shape and it would not show on the screen. I just updated the program (June 19) and it still gives me the same problem. Urgent help needed. Many thanks in advance.

Here you go. I actually put this info in the original forum as well.

Not sure if this helps or not - but I've found that the only time it crashes for me now, is if I click the desktop preview button whilst it is still saving.

Obviously this is still an issue, but as a quick fix, perhaps Adobe could look into making it more obvious if the file is still saving - currently there is no visual aid (that I've seen?) that shows the saving progress.

We currently do have a file save bar on our Windows platform; can you please confirm in the About box (hamburger > Help > About) what version of the app you're running?

My love for adobe keeps making me wait a little longer... Since February and after about 5 update (All updates since then actually). I still couldn't use this app (XD) on Windows 10.

Question is, why did Adobe use that unstable window universal app system to build XD? Even Figma used Electron and so do Microsoft for their text editor (VS Code). Even Microsoft will not use this Universal app whatever to build any serious application that belongs to them (Someone prove me wrong and send me one).

Simply put, you guys don't really want to compile XD for Windows. Ok if I am wrong, it is not too late to turn back. Not able to get one thing right for almost a year is bad for your reputation.

5 months later and still crashes, I am lucky if the program opens once in 60 attempts, its a major issue as now I have so many client projects on there. I am now unable to open them it's really becoming a serious issue, feel like moving from Adobe all together now.

And yes I have updated, updated and updated but still, Adobe persist in not fixing what obviously looks like a WIDESPREAD issue across the whole Windows platform, was working perfectly until a February update

Also keeps happening and quite frequently. Can this be made into a priority to get fixed? This is a major pitfall and overall user experience from using XD is not quite in par with the name.

could you please send us crashlogs so we can see what is causing these crashes? Info how to enable crash logging on Windows is above, posted by Elaine and Letitia.

You can PM me directly

I'm a windows user and was happy to be able to stay because of XD.

Because of these crashes and annoying bugs, I'll be forced to join most of the world designers, to Mac and SKETCH. I cannot tolerate anymore even one crash while I'm working. I want this app to remain running forever just like Photoshop etc.

Project Manager: Make a one-day crash meeting with the entire dev team and nail down this crazy blocking issue, I promise you'll solve it in no time!!!

Also having the similar crashing issues but only when i try to open old projects.

After some trial an error to duplicate the issue i have found that i cannot open files that are saved with a color swatch.

https://dex-labs.com/crashlogs/screenshot-of-swatch.jpg

so this file that has no color swatch opens fine:

- https://dex-labs.com/crashlogs/A-BLUE-SQUARE.xd

but this file that has a swatch does not:

- https://dex-labs.com/crashlogs/A-BLUE-SQUARE-WITH-SWATCH.xd

I have already sent my crash log to imaderyc @ adobe.com.

I am hoping there is some way to remove the color swatch data from the old files so i can recover my working files form the past few days.
