  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
