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.
