Video Playback Rendering Stuck at Frame 1

Hello,

I've recently been getting into making youtube videos using Premiere Elements 2021. Everything was going fine until a new update came out, and premiere tried downloading it automatically but froze/crashed in the process. After that I've had a series of issues with the program, specifically, rendering video playback so that I can actually edit without the playback being very choppy/stuttering. First, the rendering process would freeze anywhere from 15-20min in to a render. It would just get stuck on frame (Rendering Frame X of Y) and I'd have to cancel it or close the program. After testing out new preferences/settings and updating my Graphics Card Driver, I am now unable to even render the first frame (it gets stuck Rendering Frame 1 with an estimated time of 353141:4...) I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling Premiere Elements multiple times with multiple versions to no avail. This has been very frustrating as its made editing videos much more difficult since all my playback is now choppy/stuttering. I've attached a screenshot of my current rendering problem below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

UPDATE: I've been digging around through the "Premiere Elements Log.txt" file and appear to have found some error messages corresponding to the issues I've been having. I decided to open my project up and try rendering, and then reading the log file.

When looking through the log, I first noticed a series of messages stating

"Ticks = 39109 <5456> <StandardFilterWrapper> <5> Not able to create video filter for standard filter: [X]"

With X being some sort of adobe file, for example "AE.ADBE PPro ClipName", "AE.ADBE DigitalVideoLimiter", "AE.ADBE Lumetri", etc.

Shortly after this, there were a series of similar error messages:

<5904> <dvacore.StructuredLogging> <4> We have timed out on an async source. This probably shouldn't happen and will result in performance problems, media: "[FILE IM TRYING TO RENDER].mp4", frame: 66586

This seems to be linked to the issue I'm having, and was repeated 8 times with various frame numbers from the same video.

I don't know if this is helpful or not, just some more info I was able to gather surrounding the issue.
