    Hey Ed,

    I'm sorry to hear about this. Could you try running After Effects as an Administrator (Right-click on the After Effects icon > Run as administrator)? If that doesn't work, please create a new Administrator account to check if there's any issue with your current account's permissions.  

     

    Thanks,

    Ishan

    Hi. Thanks for your response. I tried what you suggested. Did not work. Splash screen comes up and then disapperars. Program does not open. It puts an After Effects icon on my desktop everytime I try to launch it. I loaded an older version, After Effects 2022, and it opens but when I go to Media Encoder to spit out a video it just goes into an endless loop that says its trying to link to the Dynamic Server. Never connects. I don't know where to go from here. Ed

    Do you have any antivirus or firewall installed in your system (other than Windows Defender)? If so, could you temporarily disable it to check if After Effects launches?
