AE Error: Could not convert Unicode Characters 23::46

Community Beginner ,
Jul 29, 2018 Jul 29, 2018

Hi. I can't start AE, it gives me this error every time I start it. After I click OK, it gives me error "After Effrects Error: Cannot unlock an unlocked list.", than the AE crashes, and it gives me a windows popup that says "After Effects can't continue: unexpected failure during applicartion startup".

I've tried to reinstall few times, to uninstall fonts, that may cause the error, but it didn't helped.

I am using the en-us version.

Please, help me.

For windows and After Effects I am using En Us, I've been using After Effects 2017 on this computer and didn't experience any issues.  But can't run the 2018 edition.

Hello,

Do you use any third-party fonts? I mean the fonts which are not installed by default.

Yup, it worked for Windows 11. Also, it fixed some keyboard issues I was having. Thank you!

Perfect, many thanks to the companion NVIDIATTXP for his contribution in this forum, I followed all the steps as he puts them in the forum and I work all Adobe Cloud CC2019 programs perfectly.

A friendly greeting, friend.

I unchecked and AE worked at next system start - but in turn my KEYBOARD wasn´t recognised anymore ...

... reproduceable and thankfully repairable error...

...which renders AE entirely unusable. Hope Adobe fixes this ASAP.

What if you're using a Mac?  OS Sonoma v. 14.  I just started getting this error this morning, not when I started AE, but instead, I get it every time I try to download a graphic for a project.
