After Effects won't lauch after Win 10 update

Question

After having update to Windows 11, After Effects is not opening. It gets stuck on the message Initializing Mediacoder until it closes or crashes or if I force crash. I updated, uninstalled, installed and installed a few versions back ans nothing seems to solve it. I already updated my graphics processor and nothing seems to solve this.

Hi mariannac99297993,

Sorry for the crash.

Can you try running After Effects as administrator (right-click After Effects icon and select Run as administrator)? If that doesn't help, try creating a new user account in your computer for testing and run After Effects in it.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu
