After Effects 24.1 does not get past the splash screen

I'll move your post to the Discussions board while we await your information.

Thanks,

Any chance you've changed anything to do with your audio drivers? Maybe installed one with a GPU driver update? The log seems to stop right when the audio system is being initialized. 

Hello?

This time it finished initializing the media core but still froze after. Here is the log:

We'll need to get a log file from you. Please follow the steps below and post the contents of the log file back here.

1. Navigate to C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\24.3\logs

2. Create an empty text file called After Effects Log.txt

3. Start up After Effects and let it sit at the splash screen for a few minutes

4. Open the After Effects Log.txt file, copy the contents and paste it back here to the forums.

Thanks

I'm on Windowns. I have leaved it for several minutes already
