Version 26.2 on Windows 11 - when I open it from the Task Bar, two instances open at once and it won't load the project. If I try to close one instance, Premiere entirely closes; if I close the other and try to open a recent project, it just hangs.
On opening Premiere, I get a normal screen showing my recent projects, but behind is it another screen with just the title and menu bars. Trying to open a recent project on the front screen takes a long time - over one minute (used to be seconds) or longer. I get no feedback after this click. Double-clicking the selected project does not change things. Windows Resource Monitor shows very little CPU activity or memory use, but a lot of Disk activity. If I then close the front window and open a recent project from the rear window, the project opens, but is slow, particularly on timeline play head movement. Export is unresponsive. I am unable to do my editing work as a result.
