Help with Freezing in Premiere Pro after updating to Windows 11
Hi! I’m looking for a solution to freezing inside of Premiere Pro, lagging on the timeline, and frozen exports. I’m running Pr version 26.5.2. My timeline involves lots of effects, but before updating to Windows 11 this week my system was able to handle it.
Here are my device specs:
Device name DESKTOP-1ANHRT5
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10850K CPU @ 3.60GHz (3.60 GHz)
Installed RAM 64.0 GB (63.9 GB usable)
Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti (12 GB)
Storage 11.68 TB of 27.29 TB used
Device ID CE867579-32F5-4772-89BE-A151D9CEC1F6
Product ID 00330-80000-00000-AA598
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Pen and touch Pen support
NVIDIA Studio Driver Version: 617.42
Edition Windows 11 Pro
Version 26H2
Installed on 10/14/2026
OS build 26300.9711
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.372.0
3rd Party App in use:
Boris FX Continuum
The sequence timeline involves many opacity effects.
I’ve opened Premiere holding shift and checked all the boxes - and the project exported.
However, that disabled my Boris FX effects.
I’ve cleared the whole cache and done a clean install of Boris FX, and rebooted. However the project will not export again. I’ve tried pre-rendering, but even that gets stuck.
Any ideas?
