After effects will not open.

My device meets the requirments to use After effects and all of the other adobe apps I have work fine e.g illustrator,photoshop but one day after effects stopped working

 

The splash screen will load then disapper or The splash screen will glitch and not allow me to close it meaning I have to use task manager to close it.

 

It gives me options to start in safe mode or reset prefernces but none of these options work and I do not have any plugins installed 

 

I have repeatedly uninstalled and reinstalled and even updated to the latest version v25.2.2 However even switching to older versions does not work.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on How to fix this?

Any chance you have Trend Micro anit-virus software installed? There is an issue with their current release that is causing issues with AE starting up.
