CFX Setup Error: SocketError and EVP_DecryptInit Issue

      I am encountering a persistent issue when attempting to launch the Setup section in ANSYS Workbench for a Fluid Flow (CFX) analysis. The application crashes with the following errors:

      socketError: RemoteEngineProtocol::receiveTransStat - Communications error: unexpected end of transmission from engine, expected status code.
      EVP_DecryptInit: Could not load the shared library.
       
      I am using Workbench 2024R2 Student's version.
       
      Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

      Hi Ozge,

      Solution 1:
      Rename .cfx folder in user profile.

      Solution 2:
      Rename libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll and libssl-1_1-x64.dll to libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll.backup
      libssl-1_1-x64.dll.backup in C:/Windows/System32
