Ever since I got my new laptop (Victus by HP Gaming Laptop 16-r0xxx (Extra info at the bottom)) My After Effects will show a black screen in the composition window. I can add elements, but I can't see them or do anything with them.
Things I've done to try and solve this:
-Disabled hardware accelleration
-Using older versions of AE
-Downloaded the most recent Nvidia driver ( the studio one, since I've read that the game ready one also caused glitches)
- Probably other things which I can't remember since it's been a while
Any ideas what this could be?
Here are my sytem details:
