Fix Adobe Media Encoder CC Not Opening Error

There is a bug in Adobe Media Encoder CC, and it can be fixed by removing a file named as “X19zbGNfZmVhdHVyZXNfXw==.slc” from SLCache folder as shown in the following path.

Open the file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache\X19zbGNfZmVhdHVyZXNfXw==.slc) in any text editor, delete all of the contents, save it, and set the file to read-only.

Easy way to do it, create a new .txt document, paste the following commands into that .txt file and save it as a batch file with .bat file extension. Now whenever you will run Adobe Media Encoder CC, the file “X19zbGNfZmVhdHVyZXNfXw==.slc” will be automatically removed. If you had set the file as read-only in the above mentioned method, please make sure to uncheck read-only box before using the following batch file.

del “C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\SLCache\X19zbGNfZmVhdHVyZXNfXw==.slc”

start “AME” “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Media Encoder CC\Adobe Media Encoder.exe”
