Effects Panel - All Drop-down-Menus empty

Installing Nvidia Studio Driver 591.44 fixed the issue in some places (Lumetri LUT-picker), but there are still emtpy drop-down-menus in other places (Preferences). 
@jamieclarke, can you please look into this?

@jamieclarke, any news on this? 

@jamieclarke  Oh no, the bug is gone in the effects panel, but still persists in menus like "Render and Replace" 😞

Oh, there's an update to Premiere Pro 25.6.3 - that actually seems to solve the problem! 😄

@jamieclarke Much appreciated ❤️ Can you please have a Colleague from the Bridge-Team look into this one?

Hi @pablo__0231 - In your preferences > general do you have "GPU accelerated UI rendering" checked or unchecked? Can you try both and let us know if it helps your issue.

@jamieclarke, yes, as is usual on a productivity system.

Hi @pablo__0231 - Do you have any third party plugins or panels installed?

Do you have any background apps or utilities running? Some third party software (like antivirus tools, screen recorders, or system optimizers) can sometimes interfere with Premiere Pro. 

@jamieclarke, sure, here's the full report: 

• Issue – Effects Panel: Drop-down-menus are not populated. The menus only show an empty box.
• Steps to reproduce – Update to Premiere Pro 25.6.2, problem is immediately visible in all projects.
• Expected result – The drop-down-menu should show the available commands when clicked
• Actual result – The drop-down-menu is empty when clicked 
• Screen recording – If you think it might be helpful, include a recording of your screen, showing the issue.  
  
• Adobe Premiere Pro version – Premiere Pro 25.6.2
• Operating system – Windows 11 Home, 25H2, Build 26200.7171
• GPU driver version (Windows only) – Nvidia Studio Driver 581.57
• Video format – //
• Comparative information helps us understand more about when the issue occurs: 
  • Does it affect all projects or only some projects?  All projects
  • Does it affect new projects?  Yes
  • When did the problem begin? With the update to 25.6.2. Reverting to 25.5 solves the problem, but it's only a workaround.
