Crashing After Opening Project (HardwareBlitpipe Engaged)

I am trying to open an AE project that I worked on in the last 2-3 weeks, but it keeps crashing before I can see anything. The project has assets I made from Illustrator. 

After the file opens, I instantly get a pop up stating "crash error in progress. last logged message was <26688><ae.blitpipe><2> HardwareBlitpipe Engaged". I double checked my laptop's drivers (Intel(R) UHD Graphics, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Laptop GPU)) and they are both up to date. The crash occurred prior to updating InDesign, and after. I've included screencaps in this post.

 

Once it goes through all the pop ups, it tells me I can save the project file under a new, different name. I tried doing that, but the previous steps repeat all over again.

Please mark as solved! Didn't realize system was due for an update. Wondered why only newly made Ae files were working, but not the older ones.

You can try to open ur After Effects without opening project file. Then go Effect -> Effect Manager -> Search for Deep Glow and disable it. Then try to open project (after restarting AE).
