You try two steps.

1. You update your graphic card driver.

2. You reset your peference setting.

There is no point in truncating a crash report. It says it crashes in thread 12 and you have clipped your report after thread 1. You also have not provided any system information.

Hi Glenda29038675honx,

Sorry to hear about the crash.

Could you kindly share your system specifications (CPU, GPU, RAM, OS version)? Also, it would be helpful to know the version of your GPU driver. If it's not up to date, I recommend updating it.

Please keep us posted on how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu

I am going to download the newest NVidia driver and choose studio driver instead of game ready.   I dont know if that will help, but at this point I'll try anything

[Glenda29038675honx · Accepted solution]

Windows kept telling me that my drivers were up to date, but I went to the NVIDIA site and downloaded the most recent Studio Driver.   That seems to have resolved the issue - I can at least see the home screen.  After Effects now opens - now that I am here I went ahead and just cleaned my 277gb disk cache as an extra measure.    I'll try opening some projects - wish me luck.  🙂

Glad to hear that. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
