The Common Extensibility Platform (CEP) suite couldn't be loaded.

SOLVED: If anyone still has the problem - I tried everything and nothing works... so only thing that works is to create new user on Mac with admin permissions and use from second user. Simple.

Hola la solución fue mas sencilla de lo que esperaba, resulta que yo tenia una carpeta llamada adobe en mi documentos de la mac y tenia otras cosas dentro de ella, por lo cual le cambie el nombre y cree otra carpera llamada "adobe" completamente nueva y verifique los permisos, y a todos los usuarios le di permisos completos y listo magicamente se abrio el after effects

Hi. So i managed to solve for myself. dont know if this will work for you guys. For Mac. The instructions are as follows: 

1. uninstall after effects and media encoder. 

2. Next, uninstall creative cloud from the folder they give you called creative cloud unistaller 

3. then head over to adobe website and hit install After Effects from the website. it will give you download link so follow all the steps to download it. 

4. Creative cloud will also be downloaded along with the After Effects. note you wont have to download After Effects from the creative cloud app. since you already downloaded it from the website. 

5. once After Effects downloads launch it and it should be working without this metadata BS poping up.

hope this helps. if this works for you please show your appreciation by subscribing to my youtube channel: HEAR 2 STAY 

I tried all adviced but non of them did not work for me. 

But I find another solution 

for windows user Settings- Update and Security- Windows Security-Virus and threat protection- manage ransomware protection-Allow an app through Controlled folder access-please select after effects exe from installed win folder. and restart after effect

For Mac OS user, following is the solution that solved my issue:

Change permission on every single Adobe folder to everyone read write:

Documents

Applications

Library Caches

Library Preferences

Library Application Support

Delete Preferences on Startup (cmd – option – shift).

Here we go!

This was it!!!

I can't believe how many things  i tried that were all wrong and much more involved. Then this super simple thing was it.

Thank you PAK1111!

I have tried all of these solutions and still am unable to run AE.

Has anyone figured out how to fix it for the mac version? I'm struggling with this too. I've tried reinstalling and restarting but none of that works.

Hey PAK, i'm having the same problem. Did you ever resolve the issue?

I was experiencing the exact same issues you described. No amount of uninstall, reinstall, update, or even the CC cleaner tool was able to fix.

The solution? For me, after ensuring that AE was running with full administrator rights in Windows 10 (right click > run as administrator) it opens up just fine for me.
