Unable to execute script at line 0. After Effects error: Can not run a script while a modal dialog is waiting for response

I'm getting this error when loading some, but not all projects. This error is only incurred when clicking on the AE project file from within Windows Explorer. When the project is opened from within After Effects the projects open without error. Why? Needing a computer engineering degree appears to be a prerequisite for working with the Adobe apps.

This is yet another neverending workflow stopper for folks who use ScriptUI panels. Not sure what sparks it, but for some reason (usually once a day) my ScriptUI panels just stop functioning until I close the actual script panel window, open it again, get this stupid freaking message, hit OK, reopen the panel and it works again. Or sometimes quicker, I restart the app. Either way it kills workflow and is highly annoying. Oh and its been going on for years and I'm on a maxed out M1 Macbook Pro 16 inch, but then again it doesn't matter what machine I'm using!
