Question

Adobe Bridge & After Effects co-exist on Windows 11?

Since upgrading from windows 10 to 11 I have had this issue where After effects crash on startup once Bridge is installed.

The only way to get it to working normal is to rename/delete Microsoft.AI.MachineLearning.dll from the plug-ins folder. Both programme will open and operate as expected but I lose all AI features in Bridge including masking which is a big part of my workflow.

Has anyone solved this issue without deleting important .dll files?

Windows 11 Pro

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-10400 CPU @ 2.90GHz (2.90 GHz)

RAM: 48.0 GB

Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeFORCE RTX 3060 (12GB)

Storage: 1.5Tb SSD

I did not have this issue on Windows 10, so possibly and update issue. I have done all the troubleshooting I can think of. Issue remain.
