I had a similar problem and I think I figured it out, I kept making new profiles and collections on my vortex mod manager to see if a mod was causing the problem and here is what I know when launching AAF (on debug mode), If you have mods being enabled in the bethesda mods(The mods that are compatible with console players) for some reason AAF wont install correctly, so in order for me to get it to work I start/make a new profile, and collection to launch, and In order for AAF to not break I start a completly new save, Ik it's not really a solution to fix AAF if you have a file you want to deploy it on, but this is the reason AAF hasn't responded ( in my case), So if you want AAF to install correctly DO NOT ENABLE MODS IN THE T-LOADER, this causes the mod to break
