Hi everyone.
Today I tried to drag some compositions from After Effects to Premiere on Windos 11, but I got an error message: "Could not connect to Adobe After Effects 2025. Please verify that Adobe After Effects 2025 is installed."
I checked the Creative Cloud app, and all the apps—AE, PR, and ME—are on version 25.5, and there are no new updates. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the apps, but nothing changed. I also tried repairing Creative Cloud, but that didn't work either. I also cleared the cache of both apps.
From Premiere's Dynamic Link menu, I can import the compositions, but sometimes it only lets me import them one at a time, and I need to connect about 50 compositions.
Does anyone know what might be happening and how to fix it?

Thanks for replying!
It started happening today. The last time I dragged comps into Premiere was last week.
Today I got this error with some comps from a project with nothing special, no effects or anything, just some images. When it happened the first time, I tested it with an empty comp and the same thing happened. I also tried sending comps and sequences to AME, and that didn't give me any problems with dynamic link.
After a long while, it suddenly started working again, but... while I was working, I had to relink one of the compositions. When I selected the After Effects project in the relink panel, boom, another message appeared saying I need to install After Effects.
I haven't changed anything in the hardware or the system for a while.
