Media Encoder CC 2019 keeps crashing when I try to add source

Like the headline says, as of this morning (Tuesday April 16 2019) Adobe Media Encoder CC 2+10 keeps crashing whenever I try to add a source file to render. This is happening whether I try to add source directly, or whether I have After Effects add to render queue. It isn't creating a log or error report when it does this. It is happening when I try to add files that I had previously rendered successfully so I know it's not the source files that are the issue. The last time I used it to render a file was Saturday, ‎April ‎13, ‎2019 and everything worked flawlessly. I'm including a screenshot of my about screen since that's all I've got to share. I just uninstalled Adobe ME and reinstalled it and the same thing is still happening.

I'm using the new NVidia creators optimized drivers for my GPU, but that was also true on Saturday when everything worked correctly. I've tried turning GPU acceleration off, and on, same thing happens.

FWIW Here is my system specs:

Windows 10 Professional 64
Adobe CC 2019

Asrock extreme 4 Z77 motherboard

Intel i7-3770k

32GB G.Skill Ripjaws-Z 1600mhz

MSI GTX 1060 Gaming-X

Definitely, it's most likely the update to build 13.1 that did the job. When I went back to 13.0.2 everything was fine again.

How do you go back to 13.0.2?

I'm having the exact same problem (actually Adobe CC has been an absolute nightmare of problems so far - getting the subscription has been a terrible mistake on my part).

Thanks!

Edit: Found where you can roll back. This seems to have solved the problem for now.

Couldn't agree more. Paying a lot of money for crushing Apps

Ok, so I downgraded to the previous build, 13.0.2, and it's working again. Seems the most recent update has a bug in it, I can only imagine how difficult it will be to get patched since AME doesn't seem to be logging the issue when it happens.

Thanks for the feedback. Something needs to have been changed in your system, as it was working fine on Saturday...

Let's wait for the specialists to get in...
