Adobe Media Encoder 2020 won't connect to Dynamic Link

[LindseyWheatley]

Since I have updated both After Effects and Media Encoder to the 2020 version I am having a hard time getting my file to complete. When I go to Add to Media Encoder Que it does nothing.  I will then just drag and drop the saved After Effects File into Media Encoder Que, it then just sits there and says its "Connecting To Dynamic Link Server" where I get four different outcomes. 

1. It just continues to try to connect, never does
2.  After what seems like an eternity it connects, I click on the composition, then click the green arrow and it "fails" 
3.  I click on the composition, then click the green arrow and encodes and the MP4 video is extremely dark to where I can't use it. 
4.  1 out of 20 times it works. (Which had yet to happen today and I've been working on it for 5 hours now) 

I've cleaned the cache, not sure what else to do or try.  HELP!
