When clicking on a Render tool in Designer, it may cause Designer to crash. When this happens, the AlteryxGUI error logs found in "%ProgramData%\Alteryx\ErrorLogs\AlteryxGUI" shows the same error message:

Resolution
Steps to resolve the issue:
1. Locate the "SRCComposer.dll" file, it should be found in at least one of the following directories:
- "%Program Files%\Alteryx\bin"
- “\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Alteryx\bin”
2. Where the file exists, create a copy of the "SRCComposer.dll file" and rename the copy to "SRCComposer_x64.dll" so both are in the same folder.3. Rerun the workflow.
