Hi,

I'm working on a brand new desktop with After Effects and suddenly after a few moments of uploading a file, the composition freezes and the timeline also stops moving. It seems to happen to all the new projects I open. I have tired restarting the app but it always freezes and does the same thing after just a few moments in. It also somewhat lags behind when I go to other panels? I'm wondering if this is a problem related to my CPU or GPU. I believe my drivers are all up to date as well if that's the issue.

CPU: Ryzen 5 7600X
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060Ti 16GB
Windows 11

I don't think so, wouldn't it say it would be corrupt? I tried to open up my files on my a mac laptop instead and it surprisingly operated just fine. There was no lag or anything. It seems like it's my desktop issue... but I'm not sure what.
