A-ha! There's your problem. Natively (or rather by default), CS6 supports only certain old GPUs and no recent GPUs to begin with. That program dates all the way back to 2012, when the Pascal architecture wasn't yet developed. Its compatibility list stopped at Fermi and high-end first-gen Kepler GPUs like the GTX 680.
Plus, CS6 and all versions of CC up to and including CC 2018 are now officially obsolete (according to Adobe), which means that these versions will not receive any further updates o

Your preferences may be messed up. Try resetting them by holding the ALT button while launching Premiere Pro. And clear all caches by navigating to Edit > Preferences > Media Cache. Then, click the Delete button, and highlight the radio button "Delete all caches from the system," then click OK.

Going back to your original question:
Since you are still using CS6, you will need to add the line "GeForce GTX 1050" to the "cuda_supported_cards.txt" file, then re-save that file. Do note that Adobe acknowledged its existence but did not officially support it.

You don't. That file should have already been at "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS6" folder. By default, the list should include a few of those old GPUs (you open this file in Notepad with elevated administrator privileges).
And this file is left there by Adobe primarily for the engineers who test various Nvidia GPUs.

I tried adding GeForce GTX 1050 to the file and then save it, but it says that I don't have the permission to edit the file. is there any way to edit the file? sorry I ask a lot of questions

You did this procedure wrong. You just simply opened the file, which did not open Notepad with administrator privileges. Instead, you will need to open Notepad manually by right-clicking that program and selecting "Run as administrator." (Notepad can be launched from the Start menu by navigating to Start > Windows Accessories, then right-clicking on "Notepad", then clicking "Run as administrator.") Now add your GPU, then save.
