Good finding. During startup all the plot settings / printers are "investigated" . Some Drafting versions (and so annotator.exe as well) do have problems with printers/plotters not existing any more.

Check all your defined printers on that system. May be (good chance!) your IT department removed one network printer and now that makes a problem.

Best: remove one by one and start Annotation after each one. .. well start with those which seemed to offline / disconnected.

You can also try to rename all files named '*plot*.lsp' in the directory %APPDATA\PTC\Creo Elements Direct Modeling xyz\x.y\ANNOTATION\Default_Settings (or may be rename the directory for a quick check)
