Premiere radomly resets to vanilla 'welcome screen'[

Every 7 - 30 days PP randomly opens as if it were a brand new install - all my projects are missing (they are still accessible but do not show on the opening screen) and all my prefences are gone.  I do make a profile settings backup which I can drag back into the 'profile settings' in Users\name\Documents\Adobe\24.0 - but it's a drag having to constantly save this folder EVERY time I make a change. I have un-synced cloud just in case that is the culprit. Any ideas? Latest build. 12900K, 64GB, - the system is fine.

    Do you have any optimization programs installed that might be wiping files?

    No optimisation files. The preferences folder is still there - but won't 'work' - it's not wiped. So I delete it - drag the backup - and boom - all is well - till the next time.

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Premiere Pro forum so that proper help can be offered.
