Video not playing in preview or program windows (Premiere Pro CC 2018)

Question

Went on vacation and everything was working fine. Fired up the machine today and none of my playback or program videos will play when I use either the space bar or click on the play icon in either window.

Installed the updates to v12.1 and Media Encoder and still having the issue.

This is happening in ALL projects with ALL videos. No sound and no video rolling. The icon will change to the pause symbol as if it's playing but nothing happens. Original videos will play in other media players outside of Premiere with no issues.

PC based machine....worked perfectly since I installed Premiere Pro CC 2018 back in February of 2018.
