Splash screen on startup - “requires access to the following folder(s): Desktop." This issue has only occurred in v26 updates of Premiere Pro. Insufficient workaround it to reboot in an older version of Premiere Pro.

    Hi ​@Paul292010260ha4,

    Welcome to the Adobe forums and thank you for reporting this occurrence.

    • Did this issue occur when updating/installing to a different version of Premiere?
      • Is this the first time you are experiencing this issue?

    Can you check and try the following steps:

    1. Quit Premiere
    2. Open System Settings > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Files and Folders, locate Premiere [version], and check the boxes for any folders listed there.
    3. Relaunch Premiere.
    • If the above is unsuccessful, please try logging out completely of Creative Cloud and logging back in.
    • If the issue persists, uninstall then re-install Premiere.

    Let us know, I hope we can help soon. Sorry for the frustration!

    Best,

    Jonathan
