After Effects Freezes after some time with error: "Direct2D Drawbot Error. HRESULT:-2005270523"

[Thiago Guimarães]

I can't say for sure, but after two or three more recent versions of AE Beta I started to get a random error, after working for a few minutes the whole computer crashes and then this Direct2D Drawbot Error box. HRESULT:-2005270523 appears, but I can't close it, it keeps reopening endlessly and then I have to force close the program.

I've been using AE Beta since they redid the interface, it's just become another program! It's very fluid and enjoyable. I'm not using to use the retail version because he not received the interface update., but I can say that the problem is in the beta, because when i use the reail version there is no issue i don't have any errors or freezes.

Here's a picture of the error I get when I close.

It just happens consistently after lots of ram previews and heavy comps.

Tried EVERYTHING i read online, and that ChatGPT throw at me, in the end what solved it.... Disabling Windows Clear Type (Fonts - Adjust Clear Type). After that the error cleared, i turned back the Clear type again (doing the readjusting)

Yeah, happens to me whenever I move the composition window, or any window that affects the composition window. At this point I'm thinking of buying a new GPU because it doesn't look like there is any surefire solution to this other than rolling back to AE 24.6.8

This only happens when I resize or move windows affecting the composition window. This happens even when nothing is open in the window, even on a brand new project. I can move other window panels around so long as it doesn't affect the composition window. 

I'm using AE 25.6.0 and have tried rolling back through every version of AE 25 and still have the issue.

My system specs are

Windows 11
