Adobe After Effects - Boot Screen Stuck - Program Closes

[MRDW]

Hi everyone I need help with a situation that I am facing with Adobe After Effects. I have no idea what happened previously AE used to work just fine when launching the app. Now sadly every single time I try to launch the app, the app constantly freezes on Boot Splash Screen. I don't even see any of the small letters running on the bottom left indicating the software is loading up. So I have to waite couple of minutes and the app just closes by itself and it constantly produces a .crash file on my Desktop. Is there any way I send that file for someone to take a look into it cause this issue has been bugging me for a long time.

So far the only workaround is whenever I run the app. I need to use CTRL+ Shift + Alt and launch AE and reset my preferences. Once I reset that only then the app runs correctly. But then the moment I close out of the app and launch it again, it just keeps getting stuck on that Boot Splash logo screen.  

Doing CTRL+ Shift + Alt is a temp fix to get the app rolling but it is not a viable fix. I need someone to help me out here. I'm on Wndows 11. Thank you.

How about making a screen shot of the crash warning and attaching a picture of it to a comment in this thread?

It's ok. I decided to format my entire C drive and reinstall windows. The very first thing that I did was install AE and my GPU driver fresh everything is working normally as they should be.
