BUG - Import Dialogue Box Randomly Does Not Appear

Question

Randomly, when importing through the Project window (double clicking or right clicking on a folder and selecting "import"), the entire program will act as if the import file dialogue box has opened (to select a file) but the window does not appear, thus causing the entire program to become unusable. Since Premiere disables all clicking/function when the import window pops up, there's nothing I can seemingly do other than to end the process completely and reopen Premiere. This is obviously very infuriating. I've tried pressing every key on the keyboard to try and "cancel" the import but nothing works--premiere is just stuck in this purgatory-like state.

Specs:

Adobe Premiere 23.2.0 (Build 69)

Windows 10 Professional

64gb RAM

Intel i9 9900k

Nvidia 3060Ti
