Thanks for the details.

Could you try resetting the preferences of After Effects: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/faq-how-to-reset-trash-preferences-in-after...

If it doesn't help, create a new user account on your computer and test After Effects in it.

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks,
