After Effects won't lauch after Win 10 update

[mariannac99297993]

After having update to Windows 11, After Effects is not opening. It gets stuck on the message Initializing Mediacoder until it closes or crashes or if I force crash. I updated, uninstalled, installed and installed a few versions back ans nothing seems to solve it. I already updated my graphics processor and nothing seems to solve this.

Hi mariannac99297993,

Sorry for the crash.

Can you try running After Effects as administrator (right-click After Effects icon and select Run as administrator)? If that doesn't help, try creating a new user account in your computer for testing and run After Effects in it.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,

Nishu
