Premiere Pro 2024 Not Using Any CPU, GPU, RAM on High End Desktop
I just can't get this darn program to use any of this fancy PC hardware!
The software is completely unusable it's so laggy and slow. It will time out just trying to open up a menu/preferences. I've tried all of the normal things that youtube and the general forum questions have talked about. I've seen others have similar issues but even they get more usage out of their hardware than I'm seeing in mine. My CPU and GPU haven't gone past 10%. Basically idle usage numbers. Any thoughts?
