More over I tried updating drivers, fix registry errors, update .NET framework and directX. Also installed every Windows update I had. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program again. For the first few attepmts to open a file the program would open and start loading the file. The loading bar reaches 100% and thats all. I was able to close the program the normal way. But at some point I ended up again with the scenario - the program wont close normally thus I am forced to use CTRL+ALT+DEL and the screen turns black and the mouse pointer flickers. After that I have no choice bu to restart the laptop. It's like columative problem after each reinstall.

Hi Maris,

I can't speak English.
However, I have encountered a similar problem.
I gave a message if I wanted to be helpful.

I converted the message with Google Translate.
I wrote so hard, but I'm sorry if I have a strange word.

(case 1)
● Isn't there a lot of FONT in the PC?
In this case, reducing the number of FONTs will open the file for reading.
Other ADOBE software works, but XD becomes unsatisfactory with the included FONT

(Case 2)
● If you stop WINDOWS [Font Cache Service], XD will break.

I'm glad if you can use it as a reference.

I contacted ADOBE, but my XD file doesn't open (it takes a long time to open).

AH ! That's a GOOD thing, getting closer to a diagnose and a possible solution.

It wouldn't be the first time that an Adobe application fails to start, due to a corrupted Preference setting. Preference files are often being stored somewhere on the system, keeping track of the system's and application's current configuration and your personal preferences, so it can start up again in the exact same state you left it. Display properties are often one of those settings ! And any existing preference files are often retained, even while reinstalling applications, in order to let your experience be the same after e.g. an update.

So it seems that you're stuck between your preference file not working well, and not being able to kick it...

With almost all Adobe Creative Cloud applications you can easily ignore and reset such a corrupted preference file by pressing some keys upon startup. However, such an approach isn't available for Adobe XD (yet). So you need to dig into some folders to retrieve that preference folder and/or file manually. I can't find any reference for that on Windows, though this page does give an inkling about it on a Mac:

https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/preferences-migration-fails-xd-update.html

Use it as a help to locate the folder, create a copy as a backup somewhere else (i.e. on your Desktop), and just delete the original – don't follow the other instructions on this Help page (it serves a different purpose).

Proceed with caution, and if you don't feel safe doing these kind of thing, then hopefully some one from the Adobe development team can chime in and shed a light on the location of these preference files and folders. You can also try a chat with an Adobe Customer Service rep.
