After Effects 'Not Responding' after OS Ventura update??

Hi,

I have an m1 laptop as well as 27inch apple desktop, both of them at 64gb RAM and plenty of storage etc.

I work as a filmmaker and recently updated to OS Ventura whereby I then had to update my Adobe suite, and now I can't seem to get any of the version of Adobe After Effects to open (earlier versions as well as 2023), let alone start working on a project.

I've never had this problem before and it is weird that it's happening on both of my machines, and AE was definitely working fine with Sierra, to me it seems clear that it's linked to the update - especially since both computers can no longer open AE.

Anyone have any thoughts or advice? Thanks very much...
