Frame Substitution Error & Drive Inaccessibility After Rendering in Premiere Pro

After updating Windows 10 to the latest version (currently on Version [Insert Version Number, e.g., 21H2]), I encountered a persistent "Frame substitution recursion attempt aborting after multiple attempts" error while rendering my project in Adobe Premiere Pro. Following this error, my NVMe drive became inaccessible until a system restart. This issue has occurred consistently, disrupting my workflow, and I've tried several troubleshooting steps without success.

I also have a DMP file from the crash and can provide it if it helps in debugging this issue.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open the project in Premiere Pro (version [Insert Premiere Pro Version here]).
2. Start rendering a sequence.
3. After approximately 1 hour, I receive the "Frame substitution recursion attempt" error.
4. Following the error, my NVMe drive becomes inaccessible and requires a system restart to be detected again.

Troubleshooting Attempts:

• Cleared Media Cache and Preview Files.
• Checked the health of the NVMe drive (98% health).
• Confirmed that the issue persists with various project files and media types.
• Set the Renderer to Software Only as a temporary measure.

System Specs:

• Operating System: Windows 10 Version 21H2
• Adobe Premiere Pro Version: Premiere Pro 2025 Version 24.1 
• Drive Type: NVMe SSD (98% health confirmed)
• Graphics Card: RTX 4070Ti
• RAM: 64GB DDR4

Request for Help:

• Any advice on resolving the "Frame substitution" error?
• Has anyone encountered drive inaccessibility tied to Premiere Pro rendering errors?

Thank you for your help!
