After Effects crashing without even starting

[MiriamBergmann]

Dear Adobe community,
does anybody else have the problem of After Effects crashing constantly since the last update? I downgraded now to the version 18.4.1., which was running smoothly ever since, but still get the same error message (see the attached files).
Has anybody an idea what to do? I need to go on with my work.
Kind regards
Miriam

Según lo que alcanzo a leer tiene algo que ver con la GPU. Intenta actualizando los drivers de la GPU si estás en Windows. Pero si estás en Mac y por alguna razón tienes instalado CUDA entonces prueba desinstalándolo.

Thanks for your answer! I'm working with an Apple MacBook Air M1 and didn't install a CUDA, at least I don't know this. I deinstallated the newest version already and used the earlier version instead 18.4.1.

This thread was the solution: I deleted all plugins, now AfterEffects starts again.

I still have MacOS Big Sur running, so it doesn't seem to be a Monterey exclusive error.
