"the team is investigating this issue and we are hoping for the fix to be addressed in an update soon. If you have another computer handy, especially a Mac, you could try installing XD on it until then." HAHAHHAH WHAT A FUUKCING JOKE - yes if you have 3 grand to spare, maybe buy a mac you poor plebs, then you can do "real design" work!!! LMAO How utterly insulting, I use a mac at work and I use a more powerful PC at home, becuase i refuse to pay for a fashion label on my computing devices - no other software i have ever used on winodws is as buggy, pathetic and crashy as XD is- almsotr 12 Motnhs fuucking later & with almost daily fuucking updates and you miserable hacks still cant get this program to wrok on windows?! F U, im switching to figma as soon as i can.

Today, I tried launching XD and all I get is a white screen that stays open for about 30 seconds before closing. No error or no info. There was an update available so I downloaded it hoping the issue would be fixed but it's doing the same thing.

I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck.

Any ideas?

Running Windows 10 Home.

Hi.

 

I've just installed XD on Windows 10 to use for the first time ever, but upon launching,I only get a full white window with the XD logo in the middle...nothing else happens. I currently run Creatice Cloud and use Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere with no problems, but XD is not happening for me.

 

 

I have tried the basic like reboot, re-install, and also attempted solutions here (https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/xd/kb/adobeXD-launches-into-white-screen-on-windows.html) but they didn't help, or came to instructions that didn't seem to corelate to my machine. 

 

Would love to start using XD.

 

Thanks

Hi, Harshika_Verma
I wrote you on private also this message. Please help!
 
Adobe XD latest version crashes, has huge loading times and memory used to maximum for files that previous took 20 seconds to load.
I'm using Windows 10, and google drive file stream but tested directly on HDD and the same result.
The file that I was working on yesterday has 0 bytes today.
Please help! I need to work on my tasks. Any help counts. Thank you.

Hello everyone , For those who still are having trouble running XD  on a specific user account on windows and have previously updated from windows 7 and face crash with error code 

 

error 5718

 

I belive have found a solution. 

It seems the history folder for internet explorer is interfering with some windows store apps as well as other UWP apps causing ACCESS DENIED errors and preventing apps from launching.

 

The solution that worked for me was to delete this folder :

 

%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\History

 

after that try starting XD again and it worked on my machine on my main user account after months of it either crashing with white screen or recently with the code above.

So I'm posting this here for anybody that might find it useful .

Hi, I've noticed this is pretty common problem.

I've tried all the solutions Adobe is suggesting to fix this (fixing things in registery etc.) I've also roamed the internet for help, but nothing seems to fix it for me.

 

I've tried atleast:
-Adobes official suggestions to fix this

-Update drivers on my computer

-Update everything Windows is providing

-Uninstall c++ redistributables

-Check that Windows Store is working (Since the app should need an access to it?)

 

I get it working if I re-install it, but once I shut down my computer and try to use XD again the next day it has the same problem again. I wouldn't like to be reinstalling the product every time I want to use it.

Hi,

I have somehow managed to install Adobe XD from Creative Cloud Desktop. But, unfortunately Adobe XD is opens with blank screen for few seconds but, it closes immediately.

I have tried everything like, enabling some registry from "regedit", uninstalling Creative Cloud Desktop & Adobe XD & reinstalling and updating Graphics drivers & installing DirectX, .Net Framework, Visual Sutdio etc et. but still no luck.

I really need help now from your end guys.

 

Please help.

I forgot to ask,

 

Where are you running MS Windows 10 from, is this happening in a virtual machine environment?

 

From looking at the logs provided it seems that you're running XD  in a containerized app. 

 

If yes,  are you aware that MS Windows 10 handles containerized apps in 32bit ? and if that is the case, why are you containerizing Adobe XD? what is the purpose?
