I’m having an issue with the preview in After Effects. The screen is completely black, and I can’t see anything. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks for sharing the screen recording. Please try the following steps: 
• Close After Effects
• Go to the Device Manager (Run >> devmgmt.msc)
• Select Display Adapter, Right click on the "Intel UHD graphic card".
• Select "Update Driver"
• Select "Browse my Computer"
• Select "Let me Pick from a list of available drivers on my Computer".
• Select "Microsoft Display Adapter".
•  Launch After Effects.

Let us know how it goes. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.


Thanks,
