Adobe Premiere Pro creates lag in Windows explorer

Since installing Adobe Premiere 48 hours ago, my Windows 10 file explorer has become useless. When opening a folder the green bar at the top just freezes near the end and the screen remains blank. Additionally, the view preview pane within file explorer no longer works. I used an old copy of Premiere on my desktop for years so I am guessing this has something to do with the cloud/sync function but dont know how to turn that off.

The issue was the Creative Cloud App and file syncing. As soon as I turned that off, everything worked great again.

Run this tool: Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool

Restart your computer after, then reinstall current CC apps. Hopefully all the dregs of old Pr software will be gone and File Explorer will work normally again.
