I’m on version b2019081902 and all has been working ok. Today the designer started to play up, wouldn’t let me edit text, change colors etc. I exited the designer and now it wont start at all. I’ve removed it and re-installed but to no avail, reboot my laptop (not the server) but no difference.

Hmm. Might try deleting the `.ignition` folder in your user home directory and then launching again.
