Premiere resets workspace whenever I create a new project

For whatever reason, with the most recent update whenever I create a new project Premiere informs me that it is "resetting my workspace from the older layout", and proceeds to completely reset my editing workspace which means I have to completely reorganize all the windows every time I create a new project.

Try going to the Users/<username>/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Pro 12.x/ folder tree, and look for the layouts folder. Delete that folder, then reboot, relaunch, and re-create your custom workspaces. See if that works.

Hi everyone, I have the same issue as described above. Would be nice to get some help from Adobe directly because from my perspective it looks like a bug.

    I had to manually remove the Layouts folder, along with using the Adobe CC Cleaner Tool to both uninstall & clean up the extraneous folders the Adobe apps leave around ... reboot, reinstall ... a couple three times before it loaded and worked properly.

    Hi Neil,

    thanks for the information - I will try to do this but not quite sure whether I understood everything properly.

    Once you have customised your workspace, save it as a preset (Window > Workspaces > Save as New Workspace)

    Alternatively, save out a template file and use that as the basis for a new project - this is my preferred approach, because I can retain settings beyond just workspaces (bin setups for example) whenever I want to start a new project.

    I know how to save a workspace, that's not the problem. Premiere is resetting my saved workspaces.

      What are your system specs ?

      I intentionally tried switching between different layouts on my macbook pro to check what happened, on an empty timeline,

      just switched between different layouts from editing to color to effects etc....

      after a while Premiere crashed and I sent the crash report

      It looks like a bug that needs to be fixed, I haven't updated to the latest 2018, still on the previous one
