Hello,

I'm using the HyperWorks Bundle (HyperWorks Student Edition 2022 edu), downloaded per the link sent in the email:
http://studentedition.altair.com/DownloadLanding.aspx?uid=163039&file=hw_edu_win64&cdn_token=8eeea393ef108aed610d99fd44dc22e82558ee43af6ab985ec

I reinstalled the program, deleted all Altair folder and updated Windows and all driver.

It's the same error as described in this post about the 2021 version:
