this happens every time I open After Effects no matter what version is installed.
I’ve done a complete reinstallation of the programme, tried to reset disk cache but still cannot get the application to work.

Clean out the existing crash reports in your Adobe folders. Perhaps one of them is borked and messes up things.

Just cleaned out the cash reports and removed the after effects 2023 folder from my documents but still have the same issue.

Sorry for the delayed response, Brandon.

Have you installed any third-party plug-ins? Can you try removing them and see if that helps? Also, do you see the Submit Crash dialog after the crash? If you do, provide your email id and submit the crash report so that we can find it in our system.

Let us know.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Without any system info we can't realyl tell you much, but the message is already telling you what's happening: The Adobe Crash reporter itself is crashing, which usualyl indicates that it is being blocked by some security setting or tool on your system liek a virus scanner. So start by checking these things. Anything more will require better info.

my spesifications are

ive had to downgrade to After Effects 2020 in order to get it to open but any of the modern versions give me the same error.

as far as I'm aware I don't have any strict firewall settings or anti virus enabled.
