first page blank latex

Question

I am using latex; however the first page is completely blank. How can I fix the issue?

Below is my latex code at the beginning of the document that I am using it and I tried to remove many parts but it seems that it is not getting fixed.

I tried to solve the issue but it seems complicated to solve. I searched the forum but could not find how to handle the issue. Thanks in advance.

I finally solved the issue by commenting the following:
