  Try the following:
  Close all ANSYS Programs
  Open Windows file Explorer.
  in the address line, type in: %APPDATA%\Ansys
  This should take you to the directory Ansys, located under your APPDATA directory.
  You should see a directory name v212 (depending on the version you are running)
  rename that directory to v212.old
  Now, try to run.
