It is hard to guess the cause. I would recommend to use Adobe cleaner tool and uninstall After Effects completely and then you reinstall it.

I had this same issue on a laptop that was plugged into a docking station. The problem was fixed when I unplugged the docking sation and launched AE -- then i could replug in the docking station after AE launched.  I think the problem was that ae was selecting to use a graphics processor tied to the docking station and not the internal graphics processor on the laptop.

Para Usuarios 2022-23: Tuve el mismo problema, tambien tengo una estacion de acoplamiento para mi laptop y el error era que intentaba usar los drivers de video de la estacion de trabajo, mi solucion fue entrar al panel de control de NVIDIA luego a "MANAGE 3D Settings" en la configuracion global y tambien en el "PROSESSOR PhysyX" seleccione mi tarjeta de video NVIDIA GTX, reinicie con todo conectado y funciono.
