After Effects 2022 error message: Assertion Failed (Windows)

Question

Rameez (or other Adobe emp),  I'm getting the Assertion Fails error msg when I try to launch After Effects (which I just installed for the 1st time yesterday - Mar. 14, 2022 [Happy Pi Day!]). I rebooted my Win 10 PC & also tried it again today. But every time I try to launch Ae I get the error msg I'll attach a snip of.
 
If I click "ignore" the interface opens. But I wasn't sure if by doing that I'm losing some functionality. Am I?
 
Also, there seem to be a ton of items under the "Effect" tab in Ae. But because I just installed the program yesterday I didn't actively install any of them (except for Boris Mocha - which I installed on my PC last yr). So I presume they're inherent to Ae. Yes?
 
Thx for any help. I'm a photographer & visual artist. Not a techie. So troubleshooting C++ is way out of my wheelhouse (and definitely above my retiree pay grade...).

That's correct. All to them are native After Effects plugins if you didn't install any third-party plugins.
