Initializing Required Components

[John23206460lmw8]

After Effects keeps getting stuck at the splash screen, during 'Initializing Required Components'. I have uninstalled, reinstalled (v22.2) and tried older versions (18.0 - 22.0) - yet it always gets stuck at the same spot. It was working perfectly fine yesterday. 

I am using macOS Monterey 12.1

Any help greatly appreciated.

Точно такая же проблема на той же системе, пробовал разные способы, ничего не помогает 😞

Sorry for the crash, John & ermol.

Are you using any third-party plug-ins for After Effects? Did you make any changes to your computer (for example - installed a new program or font) which could cause this issue?

Please try the steps in the following article: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-fix-common-after-effects-crashes...

Let us know if it helps.

Thanks,

I have the same problem with all CC apps, not only After Effects. And this article does not help to solve the problem.

Hi v.neznamov,

Could you try removing all the Adobe apps using the Cleaner tool and reinstalling them?

Let us know the results.

Thanks,

Already done. But it does not work.

I found the solution. It is a factory reset of Mac and reinstall CC and all of apps.

What does "reset" of Mac mean?

Hi Mo Moolla & v.neznamov,

Sorry for the delayed response.

Could you try the solution in the following community thread if you haven't reset your mac already: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/stuck-on-splash-screen-initializing-require...

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
