Reged Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 (edited) I have long had a problem with PDN freezing when I try to create a new document, despite reinstalling it three times. I brings up the New dialog, then sticks on the hourglass. In Task Manager it is noted as Not Responding. Have just installed 4.2.12 - same problem. My system is Windows Home 64-bit, Intel I5-6600K, 16GB memory and using the Classic version of PDN. Just installed a trial version of the MS Store app: same problem Edited July 16, 2020 by Reged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Welcome to the forum @Reged To begin with, please try going to 1. OS (C:) – Program Files – Paint.net – scroll down to the PdnRepair.exe and run it. 2. Please check all of your Windows updates are up-to-date.

BoltBait Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Do you have an image on the clipboard when you're using the File > New command?

Rick Brewster Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Yeah if you have some clipboard management app installed it could be interfering with this. (it's a bug in the other app, mind you) Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reged Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 So I solved the problem. Seems in my case it was one of the applications associated with Stardock Object Desktop Manager, which I have now completely uninstalled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
