In version 26.2.2, auto-save is causing Premier to crash

In recent versions, the program freezes for a few seconds when the auto-save feature is enabled. The video plays, but the program’s functions don’t work. I have to force-close the program. This issue occurs in all projects, regardless of the number of files or effects. I didn’t notice the auto-save process before, but now it’s causing me discomfort, so I’ve turned it off.  The project size is 3–10 MB. Just don't tell me that my hard drive can't save 3 MB in 10 seconds—and that's why it freezes. 

 

Windows 11

MSI PCI-Ex GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Gaming Trio OC 16GB GDDR7 (256bit) 

Samsung 990 Pro 2TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe 2.0 V-NAND 3bit MLC

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-14700K (3.40 GHz)

    No, I have two M.2 SSDs. They're installed directly on the motherboard, and they pass all the tests. I don't understand about the panel. What are you trying to say? Why does it need to be closed? I wasn't using it when the auto-saves took place.
