Dec 23, 2019 at 18:27 comment added Martin Brandenburg @user131755 I didn't check the details yet, but this looks like a promising proof to me. Great!
Jan 7, 2019 at 12:38 comment added user131755 @TimCampion Serre's criterion also assumes quasicompactness of the scheme, though.
Dec 27, 2018 at 6:05 comment added Tim Campion Let $X$ be a scheme defined over a field of characteristic zero (I don't know if this is necessary). If $QCoh(X)$ has a compact projective generator, then $X$ is affine. For if $P \twoheadrightarrow \mathcal O_X$ is an epimorphism from a compact projective, then evaluation and coevaluation form maps $\mathcal O_X{}^\to_\leftarrow P \otimes P^\vee$ whose composite is $n \cdot id_{\mathcal O_X}$ where $n$ is the rank of $P$. Since we're in characteristic 0, this is invertible, so $\mathcal O_X$ is a retract of the projective $P$ and hence also projective. So $X$ is affine by Serre's criterion.

Nov 27, 2018 at 18:58 comment added R. van Dobben de Bruyn Dear user131755, I am finishing up an article proving more generally that $\operatorname{\underline{Isom}}(\operatorname{\underline{Sch}}_S,\operatorname{\underline{Sch}}_{S'}) = \operatorname{\underline{Isom}}(S',S)$, which is a non-Noetherian version of a result by Mochizuki (in particular answering the question of the OP). Your argument looks correct, and the observation that thickenings are automatically affine would give a substantial shortcut to my existing argument. Could you please get in touch with me so that we can discuss how to proceed?
