The Premiere Pro startup screen is black.

Hi, I used CCleaner, and I think it deleted something it shouldn't have.

Now, this is what Premiere Pro looks like when I open it: the startup screen is black, and I can't access the section showing recently used files.

What can I do? I'm thinking about reinstalling Windows.

Thanks for your help.

 

When I click the home icon to go to the main screen, the screen goes dark.

Please help.

    Try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site. If NVIDIA, do a clean installation of the latest Studio Driver (NOT the Game Driver).

    Have you tried to uninstall Premiere and the reinstalling it? I would start there before reinstalling Windows.
