After Effects crashing on splash screen "initializing required components"

As soon as I launch After Effects it's stuck on "initializing required components", and it the application won't be responsive. I've tried the fixes I found on the internet but nothing seems to work..

 

I've tried:

  • Reinstalling the app
  • Resetting preferences
  • Restarting my laptop
  • Launching a project instead of the app directly
  • Clearing my cache files

 

Anyone knows any other sollutions that might fix this issue?

 

Thanks!

You also update your graphic card driver if you are a Windows user.
