Is it possible to downgrade back on 2021 After Effects?

Hello, I've been expieriencing a lot of bugs and errors especially connected to low memory warnings and the disability to preview my work even if its only raw audio footage on 23.4 (tried to downgrade onto nearly every other version but it did not help). A lot of friends told me that older AE versions (2021,2020) work better in that case. I've tried to downgrade but the only options I get on creative cloud are all version until 22.0. So here's my question: Is it still possible to downgrade onto 2021 After Effects versions? I'd be helpful for any kind of help.

As far as installing older version goes, we can only go as far back as Creative Cloud Desktop allows for.

When upgrading from After Effects 2021 to 2022, I had to also upgrade all of my third party plugins.  Once that was complete, things were working as expected once again.  The new Effects Manager makes it much easier to troubleshoot third party plugins than it used to be.
