I followed the steps I learned from Reddit, and it worked for me.
https://www.reddit.com/r/adobeanimate/comments/1e4ua2i/unable_to_multiply_transform_gdi_status_1_adobe/
Turn on the "An" software

ctrl + Alt + del ---- on keyboard

click on task Manager

go to menu === Details

choice the "An" software (Of course, the software must be running)

right - click on "Name" top of the column and choice "select Column" option

select the "GDI Objects" option and tick it

turn off the "An" and turn on that again

I'm using Adobe Animate in Windows 11 and the Task Manager doesn't display the "select Column" option when right-clicking "Name" column header. I have to assume the reddit instructions were for an earlier version of the OS. Does anyone know of workaround instructions for users of Win 11?

in the future, to find the best place to post your message, use the list here, https://community.adobe.com/

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.
