AE 25.4 unstable

Sat down this morning to the new update. 
Project freeze up after replacing video footage, like replacing source footage and reloading it from the same name. 
After that, the project goes F'all to hell. Previews not updating, audio not playing, hanging... 

PC win 11

Ryzen 9950x

256 gig of ram 

x870e godlike

2x 4090s

seperate cache drive

Tried removing prefs, turning off plugins, clear cache and comformed media
The workaround is to never overwrite footage, which is ridiculous
