Thanks santeri_3318 for writing in and sharing the details. 

Try running After Effects as an admin (right-click its icon and select Run as administrator). If that doesn't help, try changing the permissions as suggested in the following article: https://adobe.ly/3UvjtKw

Let me know how it goes.


Thanks,
Nishu
