Hi there,

I have a problem with Adobe XD on my Windows 10 PC (Version 1909)!

When I open the App it shows me a blank white window and after 20-30 seconds it closes.

The thing is, that i tried every singel solution from the Troubleshooting-page of this problem, but none of them worked.

Also I tried some of the Youtube tutorials and some tips from the community but nothing worked.

 

Also there shouldn't be any problem with the hardware of my PC because I have an:

  • Intel Core i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20 GHz
  • 16 GB RAM
  • 2 TB HDD
  • NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660

 

Also all other Adobe Programms like Photoshop, Premiere, Aftereffects... work perfectly.

I realy hope, that someone could help me 🙂

我开始使用1809版本win,1809版本win的XD能够正常使用,某一天突然无法使用,我更新了最新XD版本还是无法使用,我更新1909版本win,XD无法使用,现在更新2004版本win,XD也无法使用,都是白屏闪退,我有尝试https://helpx.adobe.com/cn/xd/kb/adobeXD-launches-into-white-screen-on-windows.html,但是无法解决,这使我很困扰。

 

I started using the 1809 version of win. The XD of the 1809 version of win can be used normally, and one day suddenly it is unavailable. I updated the latest XD version and still cannot use it. I updated the 1909 version of win and the XD is not available. Unavailable, all with white screen flashing back. I tried https://helpx.adobe.com/cn/xd/kb/adobeXD-launches-into-white-screen-on-windows.html but couldn't solve it, which bothered me.

Hi,

 

In which versionnof Windows is this occuring?

Participant

I had the same problem as strkbndctwrn. Windows 10 PRO,  version: 21H1.

Basically Adobe XD freezes and closes without any error or prompt while opening files (around 95-99%). I tried to reset app, reinstal, clear temps etc. Unfortunately it does not help.

As of this week, I have been crashing ALL THE TIME (every few minutes) in XD. Initially I noticed it happening after my document, saved in Adobe Cloud, was auto-saving ("...saving" after file name at top). Everything would hang and after "...saving" disappeared I could switch tools, but no matter what tool I selected, I could not pan, zoom, or select objects. 

 

Just tried moving my file to my local hard drive, and encountered the same behavior, though this time there was no "...saving" involved. I was just manipulating a component and it crashed.

What version of MS Windows 10 are you using?

 

Was XD working before?

Did you noticed if this happened after an update was applied?

 

 

Are you getting Any error messages?

 

Open the event event viewer and identify what went wrong and post back.

I've been told that this is an ongoing issue which has been addressed and that is known with Adobe XD on MS Windows 10.


Even though most of the troubleshooting tips are inclined to instruct the users to perform an update of XD to its latest version and/or a simple restart of their system to fix it, I am more inclined to suuport the other users who have exhausted all other tips available in the forums.

 

If we look the Adobe XD Release Notes, system requirements https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/system-requirements.html we can clearly see that Adobe XD is an app supported in 64bit operating systems with 64 bit supported processors.

 

Using this logic as an troubleshooting approach, let's remember that in MS Windows 64-bit programs are installed in the “C:\Program Files” folder and 32-bit programs are installed in “C:\Program Files (x86)” folder.

 

However, the systemwide module (.dll) libraries that belong to 32-bit programs and 64-bit program are handled quite differently between the application and the operating system, and they are separated into two different folders.

 

In any case, from examining the different crash dumps that users are sharing, one out of three events is always identified consistently by the error event handling in MS Windows : the faulting applicattion name " XD.exe" or "XD CC.exe".

 

If we take as an example any of the Adobe XD's crash logs that Adobe XD users are submitting, thereare two areas of interest in the crash dumps are:

 

- The exception code: it varies from user to user (0xc0000008, 0xc000027b, 0xc0000409 for example)

 

- Faulting Module name(s): it varies from user to user (ntdll.dll, twinapi.appcore.dll)

 

Now, even though the exception code and the faulting module events vary from user to user, there is another area that seems to also remain constant. That is the application's faulting path C:\Windows\System32

 

So going back to what I said earlier about where 32 and 64 bit programs are installed, you should be asking yourself "What heppened to C:\Windows\SysWOW64 ? Did we forget about it?"

 

System32 is the system wide library folder in MS Windows. However, keeping in mind that Adobe XD is a 64bit app, why is it trying to load or register a module (.dll) in a known area that is reserved for 32bit apps when it is loaded up ?

 

That said, and in spite of the growing clutter of troubleshooting threads that I've seen in the community forums, I would like to highlight a few suggestions to work around this fault exception.

 

If a 64 bit (.dll) module is failing to load you can re-register that server module using this command : regsvr32 followed by the .dll module name.

 

EXAMPLE: You will need to open the command prompt, prefereably as Administrator go to C:\Windows\System32. Then type regsvr32 twinapi.appcore.dll and hit Enter.
like this C:\Windows\System32 > regsvr32 twinapi.appcore.dll

 

OR,

 

If using Windows Explorer you can also copy twinapi.appcore.dll and paste it in

C:\Windows\SysWOW64 then repeat the step above in the SysWOW64 directory:

 

C:\Windows\SysWOW64 > regsvr32 twinapi.appcore.dll

 

NOTE: Conversely, you can use /u parameter to unregister a module

 

As I read in a post outside if the Adobe forums, the tricky part is to always remember that that the 32-bit .dll should be registered into C:\Windows\SysWOW64, and the 64-bit .dll should be registered into C:\Windows\System32. This is a little different than following the logic of "64-bit programs are installed in the “C:\Program Files” folder and 32-bit programs are installed in “C:\Program Files (x86)” folder".


To explain how virtulal memory addressing is handled between the OS and the application is beyond the scope of this tip. And to explain how System32 and SysWOW64 works is also beyond this scope but I hope that the suggestions above could help someone.

I downloaded the XD from the main site, installed, I go in, and then it just crashes, and so every time, what should I do?

Participant
September 30, 2018

I woke up today and updated XD to the latest version. Now the app crashes immediately on open and if I try to open xd saved files, it says "The app didn't start."

This is what I see for seconds before it crashes.

 

I really need to start prototyping. Any solutions?
