Premiere keeps crashing ever since updating to 26.2.2

Seemingly out of no where, Premiere started to freeze and give me the “Not responding” message. It seems to be on a 20-30 minute timer before it crashes, and has nothing to do with how much I’m editing. It’s crashing on 1hr+ projects, and 30 second clips. It runs fine prior the the crashes. My PC is running perfectly fine aside from Premiere.

 

I have tried:

  • Restarting my PC
  • Updating Premiere, Media Encoder, Windows, and my drivers
  • Clearing up storage and %temp% folders
  • Disabled all apps on startup
  • Cleared media cache on Premiere
  • Increased RAM allocation for Premiere

 

Specs:

  • Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor (3.59 GHz)
  • Installed RAM: 64.0 GB
  • Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB)
  • Storage: 633 GB of 2.73 TB used

 

I’ll be happy to provide any more info! Thank you in advance.

    Is it always crashing when it reaches a certain video? Is it possible that you’re working with a corrupt file?

    No, I tried different clips. I don’t think it’s the files.
