Adobe Animate crashes when creating new file or open existing file

[chinnychong]

I've been using Animate 2019, and I just can't seem to figure out what's causing this issue, it was working fine until I saved a file few weeks ago.

Then when I opened that said file, the program crashes, and when I try to create a new file, it crashes too, with no errors popping up whatsoever, it just loads for a few seconds and then closes instantly.

I've already tried the solutions provided to fix this, but nothing seems to work at all, resetting preferences, deleting Creative Cloud and reinstalling it, none of them work.

reset your preferences:

flash: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash/kb/re-create-preferences-flash-professional.html
(or remove Win: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\Animate CC \ and
C\Users\\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Animate\\
Mac: /Users//Library/Application Support/Adobe// and
/Users//Library/Preferences/Adobe/Animate//)

I already tried that, it still doesn't work.

[kglad]

did you confirm you successfully reset?

[chinnychong]

Yes, I did. Nothing works. Unless there's something I've been missing, could you please elaborate further?

[kglad]

re-install:

1. uninstall animate including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-
2. restart your computer

3. use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

Have done that, still crashes. I'm not sure what's the issue with Animate if these suggestions aren't working.

This is also happening in my classroom to Animate 2023.

@Peter31084368lz6v 

meaning on all classroom computers animate is crashing?

[Peter31084368lz6v]

Yes, every computer in my classroom. Doesn't matter if its a student or teacher. Whenever we try to use a tutorial or just a "new page" it crashes.

@Peter31084368lz6v

What am I missing? GPU?

[kglad]

to start, i assume you have a win os.

[Peter31084368lz6v]

Win 11

[kglad]

contact adobe support using one of the problematic computers.

[Peter31084368lz6v]

It is all of my computers in my computer lab. I teach at a high school.

[kglad]

select one.

[Peter31084368lz6v]

I am on one. But it doesn't seem to matter which I choose.

[kglad]

you can't contact support from any computer?

[TobyTheChihuahua2763]

my adobe has been crashing too even when opening small fla files or just importing short videos.

[kglad]

i can't check your computer. contact support.

Hi Peter,

I am wondering if you (or anybody else) has resolved this? 

I'm also a teacher.  My students don't have any issues.  Arg!  haha...

My Animate crashes as soon as I try to start a new animation.  Last week, it was displaying a crash message.  This week, the program simply closes without message.

I've reinstalled several times.  I have a good machine.  Maybe my virus scanner is an issue but another co-worker (teacher) with the same virus scanner is able to use Animate.
