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.

For people where the command opens AME, but nothing is added: If you hit "Add to AME" again, with open Media Encoder, does it work?

Not experiencing this on my end. Still feel bad for this. Happened in the past.

Don't forget the golden rule in professional production:
Never aboard the first iteration of a major release if your work critically depends on it!

I have a large project I need to export for a client in the next couple of days! I've even tried adding the file directly to Media Encoder but it just sits searching (I felt it over night and was still searching in the am!)

This is happening only to my AE files that were created before the last update (PC running windows 10). The dynamic linking is not opening the project file. I then have to go into task manager to end the AME process since it is hung up.

But new files created in AE after the update export to AME and work fine. What a pain. Once this is fixed I will stop updating until I absolutely have to.

Please fix asap! Loosing so much time with all those errors that recently occur all the time in AE 😞

Still not working. Windows 10.

When I choose to add comp to AME queue, AME will open on its own but that's it; no other activity.

Only solution is to render from AE render queue as MOV and then export again through AME as MP4.

Still not working on Windows. I rolled back to the previous versions of AE and AME and it worked for one export, and then the dynamic link got stuck on connecting forever. Can only use the AE render queue, export as MOV and then export the MOVs as MP4s through AME.
