effects and presets tab glitching

hello everyone! so recently my after effects effects and presets tab started glitching, basically everytime i try to search an effect with the word ''s'' or ''r'' the effects tab goes black and then i can't click on anything or drag any effects nor can i scrolll down . I have to completely close and reopen AE to make it functional again. Has anyone else been experiencing this? And is there a way to fix it?

PS. I have tried almost everything, i even deleted everything off my computer and redownloaded them all nothings working, and i'm currently using AE 2024 !
