Opening projects v25.6.3 build 2 (3/4 open then gets stuck)

I had a brown out yesterday.  i had photoshop illustrator and premiere dynamically linked.  the project files are on a QNAP server.  since the brown out I have not been able to open the project up, nor have I been able to open up any of the projects the were autosaved this month.

When I try to open the project the "open project" dialogue bar gets about 3/4 full and then just stops.  the software is working fin though because I can open open older projects.  I have never had it where not only is the main file corrupted but also all the auto saves for the last month.

I have been working on this project for a long time now and have missed 2 deadlines already.  Having to redo the last months of work make me not want to do the project anymore and I have to say that I have been fighting premiere bloat and bugs since 2017, I think this might be the very last project with Adobe. 

what I have tried so far without success. 
- opening a blank project and importing the project.
- trying to open it in an older version of premiere.
- uninstalling and reinstalling premiere.

I am out of ideas and out of hope.
can anyone help?

update:
premiere doesn't open any project, but i can start new ones.
