Hi Mohamadh,

I understand After Effects fails to launch for you. Could you share the following information before we start troubleshooting?

• Please share your system details(RAM, GPU, CPU, etc)
• The screenshot you shared says the application is from 2017 release. Is there any reason for not updating the software?

Looking forward to the response. Meanwhile, I'd recommend to try this:

Right click on the application shortcut > Select Run as administrator

Let us know if it helps.

Thanks,

Shivangi

Hello ...
How to Resolve this problem ?
Same Condition

This workaround WORKS! First, launch AE by clicking on a file extension that is supported by AE; I used .aep. After effects will launch and open the project file. Second, head over to preferences GENERAL dialog and untick the ENABLE HOME SCREEN. Close then re-launch AE by ticking on your shortcut to the AE executable and enjoy. Thank you!

this worked. What is the cause of this though?

[Planet Xtreme 2]

This exact workaround worked for me too. How did you figure this out?
I owe you one, like a gum or something. Thanks a bunch and for solving this annoying headache.

[pedroovfx]

where is the ENABLE HOME SCREEN option?
if possible send a screenshot, because i can't find it

[Daniel221622616l41]

Hey, I just found where it is. IN AE, press "edit" at the top bar, from there you will find preferences, click that, then go to general. On the page that pops up "ENABLE HOME SCREEN" should be the third last box that is there (the 13th option from the top). hope this helps! 

[Irregular23474679gcsk]

umm where is it?

[nishu_kush]

It's "Show Start Screen at Startup" in your version of After Effects.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Nishu

For Adobe After Affects version 23.6.0 (build 62) same solution for the crash , but this option is located  Edit -> Preferences -> Startup and Repair --> untick "Enable Home Screen". It will work

[Iparides]

Thank you for the solution. Uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times did not help me. Only this solution has helped for me. I use Windows 11 Pro. With your solution, I can start After Effects again. Without the homescreen, but still. I'm attaching my error message in case someone has a different one than in the name of the thread.
