The other day, it worked just fine and suddently, it stopped opening. Only the pre-softare-window appears (the one with an illustration and a bunch of loadings) and then it straight up diseappears (in task manager too). AE 25.6 works fine but I had a project in 26 that I wish to not lose.
I tried restarting the computer (did not work), reinstalling AE 26, unpacking, repatching (did not work), deleting the "C:\Users[USER]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\26.0" folder entierly, since I did not have any settings/customizations I wanted to keep (it recreated it instantly upon opening the app, still did not work).
Maybe the fix is as simple as "delete that specific folder/file" but please help. Any possible cause is welcome :)
