After Effects 2022 V22.0.1 composition won't export via Media Encoder

After Effects 2022 v22.0.1 DOES NOT EXPORT TO MEDIA ENCODER on Windows. This problem was reported for Mac, but it was directly stated that others have the same problem on Windows. Exact same symptoms, exact same behaviour. You try to export a video from After Effects using the Media Encoder Queue, and nothing happens. Media Encoder opens and just sits there doing absolutely nothing.

I have a problem with exporting files. I add a file to the media encoder, the file is exported and after a while it stops and nothing happens ... Please fix this error after this problem, it is impossible to add any project to the export via media encoder ...

Ok what is going on here?! This has just happened AGAIN to me after a couple of months being totally fine. I suddenly get a load of "After Effects has crashed send report" screens.
After effects hasn't crashed, in fact it's still running just fine. So is media encoder.
Then encoding gets worse and worse until every file just fails and then it never works again.
It's like something just snaps and its' never the same again. I'm so sick of it and nothing fixes it.

Months ago I've updated my software having this same problem, had to go back a version to make it work. I think I'll have to wait months so I can update to the new V22 so it's actually working.

Voted. It also crashes constantly for me even after a clean install.

Have you tried disabling all but one graphics card? This has been a problem in the past. Chances are Adobe just screwed it up again. They are a very siloed company, so this happens frequently, and it also holds back changes. I think that's why we get stupid new features, that no one wanted, that aren't connected to anything. But anything that's connected to another silo takes Forever to happen, or never happens at all.
One thing you can try doing here is rendering with software mode. If that works, you're probably on the right track and you can fiddle around with graphics cards. I have an external graphics card, and noted this issue before. Most people don't have two completely different NVidia cards, so they probably didn't notice the issue. But the issue Also has happened with an nVidia card and the built in intel card. But after disabling the intel card as well, AME worked.

I almost forgot, and this is a terrible workaround, but when I first updated to 2022 I had this same issue. AE couldn't render to AME. But premiere could. So I created a premiere project, put the AE compositions I needed into new premiere sequences (Awesome how they can't even call them the same thing between the two software right? lol) and then render from Premiere.
At the time, I still couldn't use AME, but at least I was able to render them one at a time. The alternative would have been to render out image sequences from within AE, THEN use AME to put those together into the format I needed because AE doesn't render with the same settings AME has. I needed H.264 with specific settings.
Good luck to you folks still being ignored. Hopefully you find something that works.
