Premiere Pro 2020 won't launch

Premiere Pro 2020 is installed on my Dell laptop (Windows 10). Recently, it has nearly stopped launching. I say "nearly" because maybe 1/30 times it will launch -- it's completely unpredictable.

When I launch I always make sure that a.) I am logged into CC and b) no other applications are running.

I have tried different ways to launch Premiere:

double click the .exe file in the directory
clicking the icon in the start menu (see attached file)
by opening a .prproj file
by selecting a video file and "open with"

None of these has worked. Is this operator error? Is anyone experiencing this problem and/or know how to fix it?

I had this problem. It turned out to be windows firewall. Go to settings for windows firewall. You can view the apps that have permission. If premiere pro is not listed, browse to its directory and add it to the list. Then check the boxes to grant permission. Voila it will now open.

Same issue! Running Windows 10. Adobe hasn't done crap about it. Why do I pay them so much each year?

I was editing fine, then Premiere crashed last night. Tried openning it today and nothing is happening. My other Adobe programs are working fine but nothing when I attempt to open Premiere. Can't find a fix.

Seems that the program won´t quit proper, because it´s still running in the task manager. So, please Adobe Dev Team: fix it!

I have the same issue. I am using it on a new machine that was issued to me (a Dell Windows 10 64-bit machine and have Premiere Pro version 14.4 installed). When I open it, either from Creative Cloud or the shortcut icon, it starts to open but it gets hung up. There is a message that says "Loading ImporterQuickTime.prm", but not sure if that's what is holding it up. It gets hung up for at least 10 minutes before I kill the program via Task Manager. Any idea what is going on?

I got same issue after I reset windows 10, and installed the Adobe Premier, 2020 ver 14.4. Many time unstalled and installed, didn't work. Then via creative cloud I installed 13.x ver, afater I had the issue while opening the app, following, wmvcor.dll, insisting me to install, windows media player, and windows update, media feature pack for windows 10 n (may 2020) download, after all, I was able to open Adobe premvier 13.x, then via creative cloud, upgrade to 14.4 x, after the upgrade. Adobe premier is opened.

In short..

So, after windows 10 reset installing adobe premier freshly, will not open and will not throw any error. 13.x installation only gave error and clue..;

Hope this will give some clue to you....;

I am new to Adobe Premier..

I was having the same/similiar problem. It was opening, then not opening. Once it opened, then closed when tried exporting, and then wouldn't open again. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no improvement. For me, what finally worked was when I opened Task manger and saw the Premiere Pro process was still running. I ended just that one process, closed Task manger and tried again- voila, Premiere Pro came right up. It's not a fix, but it's a suitable work around for now. Hope this helps...
