Why did the welcome screen of my Adobe Animate change after I installed Adobe After Effects?

The welcome screen of Adobe Animate may have changed after installing Adobe After Effects because both applications use Adobe Creative Cloud services and may share certain interface settings, preferences, or components. An update or change in the Adobe application environment could also affect how the welcome screen appears.

However, installing After Effects should not normally change Animate’s functionality. If Animate is still working correctly, the change may be related to its interface or preferences rather than a problem with the software.

I recommend checking whether Adobe Animate or Creative Cloud was updated during the installation. If you can share a screenshot of the new welcome screen, it will be easier to identify what changed and suggest the appropriate solution.

do you want to return to the beginner’s welcome screen?

what’s your animate version and copy/paste a screenshot of your animate welcome screen into your reply.
