PE 2020 does not show monitor for a long time rafter inserting a project asset to the timeline

After inserting a project asset PE2020 does not show the monitor. This can take several minutes. I think it happened after the last update. I can still save the project but clicking the play button has no effect.
It's very frustrating.
The same happens when I click the render button. Rendering starts with a dialog like this:

The estimated remaining time shows a very strange number and after a long time the real time is displayed and then the rendering starts.

Any help to avoid this is very much appreciated.

I'm running PE om Windows 10

kind regards

Delete preview files and media cache and try again.

If that does not work reinstall Elements without the update.

Deleting preview files and media cache had no effect.

Maybe this weekend I will reinstall Elements without the update.

Your machine might be a little underpowered. Its 13 years old and running W10 latest version and probably highly compressed footage.
