After Effects Stuck on "Initializing Required Components"

Hello,

I’m having a problem with Adobe After Effects. The application suddenly stops on the "Initializing Required Components" screen. Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

  • Fully uninstalled and reinstalled the app.
  • Installed two older versions of After Effects.
  • Tried almost every solution I could find online.

Unfortunately, none of these steps worked, and the issue persists. However, I noticed that when I created a new user account on my PC and logged in, After Effects worked fine.

I would appreciate any help to resolve this issue on my main user account.

Thank you!

Are you on a Mac or Windows? What are your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM)? Do you get any crash reports, or does it just stay on the splash screen? Is it a personal computer or an office computer? Asking this because sometimes user accounts have such restriction that prevents applications from accessing crucial files.

Let us know, we're here to help.

 

Thanks,
