Check for updates. Version 3.0.2 is available now.
I cant find the *.exe file to update mine only the Affinity x64.msix. Which I installed but it fails to load my previous setup in the last version

For some reason the exe file is now called Enterprise!
Still hasn't sorted out the NIK Collection problem. guess we'll have to wait for DxO to address it.
Sadly I tried this and it stated wrong version for my CPU
There as far as I can see only one *.exe file and that does not work for me.
I suspect you downloaded the installer for ARM processors. Try the Intel/AMD installer.

Thanks Alfred. I have always used the exe installers over the msix ones as the latter, I believe, can lead to problems accessing Affinity from othe apps such as ACDSee etc.
Could be too many people updating at the same time but all I get is an error message with a "try again later". That's is what I'll do....
Too bad, still no light mode for the interface 
Make sure to have a look at your settings,they may be lost after installation of the new version.
In my case windows exe version.
I think everything has been reset like shortcuts,decimal settings, etc.
And the dll hack for coloured icons doesn't work either!

This is only a bug-fix release. Such releases do not introduce new features, and a light mode for the interface would count as a new feature for version three, because that version was released without it.

Since it was in V2, and that it was mentioned in the V3 help, I thought it might count as a bug that they "forgot" to keep it.
We all hope—well, almost all of us—that it comes back 
In my case windows exe version.
Are you sure you used the correct installer?
Affinity programs have never deleted settings on their own.
Do you have an .affinity folder in your user directory, and when you enter %appdata%/affinity/ in the Windows Explorer path bar, do you see a 3.0 directory?
And if so, which directory has the latest timestamp?
Maybe I should say that I am using affinity since version1.
I never had problems choosing the correct installer.
This lame excuse of still not detecting which OS and version one is using, has been beaten to death, including me, on the Serif Affinity forums.
(still pushing the msix version)
And it has happened before that settings were overwritten though.
The Windows version installs Affinity in the sandbox (MSIX). The Enterprise version installs Affinity in the Programs folder (MSI/Exe).
Depending on which version you used previously, you should also select the right installer.

Understood, Geoff. I posted that link because you had remarked
For some reason the exe file is now called Enterprise!
and I thought the linked page gave a good explanation of what that reason is:
"Enterprise (Intel/AMD)" and "Enterprise (ARM)" are MSI/EXE installers and may be preferable if:
- You encounter issues with the MSIX version
- You’re installing on an Education or Enterprise network that restricts MSIX
- You need more control over installation settings (e.g., destination directory, easier integration with other software)
