Hello all,

I have the same darn problem everytime I have to update After Effects: it wont start/ it freezes. Later on there wil be a patch/update and than the issue is resolved. However, i experiance this every single time and this means I usually can't work with After Effets for about a week. And I am tired of this. 

 

I would apreciate any help i can get.

 

These are the steps to recreate my problem: 

1. Just try and start it......

2. It wont go past loading screen 

3. if it does and I try safe mode or another option it just freezes

 

This is what I try to fix the problem:

1. Empty cache folder

2. Re-install 

3. Install older version 

4. Instal new gpu drivers

5. Update gpu drivers

6. Complete unistall of adobe 

7. re-install of adobe

8. Ofcoarse restarting the pc

When a new version is released, a couple of things need to happen:

* AE rescans all of the installed plugins, that can take some time.

* There are some GPU components that have to be setup. This can also take a few minutes on some specific hardware.

 

How long do you wait where it "won't go past the loading screen"? What is the message that is shown?
