You haven't given us that much information to base this on. Please provide screenshots/video clips of the software not opening and your AE icon. All I can tell you right now is to go into Task Manager/Activity Manager and end "AfterFX.exe" and reopen it.

The files are not showing up purple like how the auto save files should
be?? And when I try to open it wouldn't. Is this pic enough?

Im still not seeing an image... try resending it. Does it just like like a blank file icon? Like the little folded paper thing on Windows?
