Hello guys, I need your help urgently! Have 3 days exactly what my After Effects stopped working, everytime I click on it to open, it does not open and then pops up that "stopped working".I'm Brazilian so the print is in Portuguese, I ask your help because I've tried everything!

If that's the case, my next suggestion is more major.  Back up, erase your hard drive and do a clean installation of Windows. Then reinstall Adobe CC before any other software.  If the problem persists, it is almost certainly hardware or hardware-driver related.

Try creating another user as Administrator in Windows, open Ae there and if you run there, it means that your Windows has many junk files as well as in the registry saturated with years of installing and uninstalling applications. If it is useful for you in the new User, you have a backup of everything you have in the old user and migrates to the new one.

I did it right now and unfortunately it did not work. I don't know what's happening, because of these problems I end up losing Jobs.

Please, help!

I would uninstall After Effects and then reinstall it, just to be sure.

Uninstall or remove Creative Cloud apps

just remember if you install any new application in the past few days so may your new app take also more memory witch can make some conflict with after effects to start normally

I uninstalled some programs and opted to use the 2018 version of After Effects and it still does not open, it still does not respond

Close Ae.

When clic to open Ae, immediately press Shft + Alt + Ctrl and keep pressing these three keys until If you see a dialog box where you are asked if you want to delete the preferences, press OK. Then try again.

Can you tell us a bit more about your computer? What hardware you have, what version of Windows 10 you're using, etc.?

Also, have you tried uninstalling After Effects and reinstalling it?

Do other CC apps work?

Okay, the other programs work perfectly, only the After Effects won't start.
