version 22.5 being really slow

Recently my premiere pro has been insanely slow. When even the slightest of changes take excessively long to complete (like changing a keyframe position slightly). I know it's not the spec of the pc as it's been good for the past year.

I've tried deleting the media cache and making sure my ram use is mostly on premiere pro. I'm not too sure else it could be. Ever since I've gotten this 22.5 version it just seems to have endless problems with either the editing side or even the struggle of exporting. 

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 

thank you.
