Effects Panel - All Drop-down-Menus empty

[pablo__0231]

I just updated to Premiere Pro 25.6.2. 

When I click on a drop-down-menu in the Effects Panel, it's empty. There are no entrys. I can't click anything. It's not only for Warp Stabilizer, as in this screenshot, but for all  entries. I tried resetting the workspace and the preferences. It did not help. Please fix.

Windows 11 25H2, AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3970X, Nvidia RTX4090, 128 Gbyte RAM

Hi @pablo__0231 -  Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue. Please see, How to Report a Problem.

Sorry for the frustration.

• Here's a screenrecording of the error. (Btw, it would be nice if you allowed direct upload of mp4-Screenrecordings, since you ask for those in the first place. It's kinda tedious to first make a gif of the recording to fulfill your bug-report guidelines.)
• For now, I reverted to Premiere Pro 25.5, which does not show this error - but it breaks DynamicLinks with After Effects 25.6, so I had to revert to AfterEffects 25.5 as well.

Sorry for the thread-Hijack, but @jamieclarke can you please get someone from the Bridge-Team to acknowledge this Months-old Bridge bug report, please? It totally disrupts my workflow 😞

Hi @pablo__0231 - Do you have any third party plugins or panels installed?

Do you have any background apps or utilities running? Some third party software (like antivirus tools, screen recorders, or system optimizers) can sometimes interfere with Premiere Pro. 

[pablo__0231]

@jamieclarke, yes, as is usual on a productivity system. 

Plugins: 

• Maxon Red Giant
• Maxon Universe
  
  

Background Tasks

• Seer (File Previews)
• Razr Synapse (Webcam)
• Fontbase (Font Management)
• Everything (File Search)
• Microsoft Powertoys / Fancyzone (Window Management)
• Microsoft Teams
• Microsoft OneDrive Sync
• Microsoft Sharepoint Sync

Hi @pablo__0231 - In your preferences > general do you have "GPU accelerated UI rendering" checked or unchecked? Can you try both and let us know if it helps your issue.

[pablo__0231]

• With GPU accelerated UI: ON -- Empty dropdown-menus
• With GPU accelerated UI: OFF -- No dropdown-menus at all

 

[pablo__0231]

Oh, there's an update to Premiere Pro 25.6.3 - that actually seems to solve the problem! 😄

@jamieclarke Much appreciated ❤️ Can you please have a Colleague from the Bridge-Team look into this one? 

[pablo__0231]

@jamieclarke  Oh no, the bug is gone in the effects panel, but still persists in menus like "Render and Replace" 😞

[pablo__0231]

@jamieclarke, any news on this? 

[pablo__0231]

Installing Nvidia Studio Driver 591.44 fixed the issue in some places (Lumetri LUT-picker), but there are still emtpy drop-down-menus in other places (Preferences). 
@jamieclarke, can you please look into this?
