Lumetri Scopes Not Working in Premiere 2018

Unfortunately, no, the problem persists.  I did figure out how to tame it, to the point where the scopes are semi-reliable, but it takes some doing, each time.  Here's the procedure I have to follow:

1.  Start Premiere, with the Lumtri Scopes panel closed.

2.  Open the Lumetri Scopes panel.  The panel will open, but the scopes won't be visible, as described above.  This will be true, regardless of which monitor the panel is on.

3.  Move the Lumetri Scopes panel to the primary monitor, if it's not already there.

4.  Close the Lumtri Scopes panel.

5.  Restart Premiere.

6.  Open the Lumetri Scopes panel.  Now, one of three things will happen:

A.  Premiere will remember to open the window on the primary monitor, and the scopes will work.  This will be the case about 20-30% of the time (once every 3-5 attempts).  The rest of the time, one of the two things below happens.

B.  Premiere will remember to open the window on the primary monitor, but the scopes still won't work.  In this case, try again, beginning with step.4.

C.  Premiere will open the window on the secondary monitor, and the scopes will not work.  In this case, try again, beginning with step 3.

There is no scenario in which the scopes will work if the panel opens on the secondary monitor.  However, in the instances in which the scopes do work on the primary monitor, the panel can then be moved to the secondary monitor, and they'll continue to work until the panel is closed.

The 20-30% success rate is enough that at least I can get my work done (usually).  But needless to say, it's still an unacceptable annoyance.  I do hope the devs can find a permanent fix soon.

Thanks for the general advice, Jim, but I'm sure you'd agree it doesn't really have anything to do with the topic at hand.

Yes, I'm aware that updating mid project is not a good idea.  But as I said, I had no way of moving forward from where I was, so there was nothing to lose by giving it a try.  If worse had come to worst, I could simply have done a system restore, to revert the whole machine right back to the pre-update state.

Not all of us have two systems on hand that are capable of 8K playback.  If you do, then congratulations on your good fortune.

Oh, I've reset the workspaces, made new workspaces, etc., countless times.  I've opened the panel docked, opened it undocked, opened it on monitor 1, opened it on monitor 2, every combination I could think of.

After restarting about a gazillion times, I did finally manage to get the scopes to come up (undocked, monitor 1, for whatever that's worth).  I've been doing my work, while hoping and praying Premiere doesn't crash, or need to close for any reason, until I'm done.  I have no reason to believe it will continue to work the next time.

The fact that it's working at this moment seems to be a random occurrence. I did not do anything in particular to make it happen.  It failed plenty of times, with the same configuration.

Any more ideas, shout 'em out.  Thanks.
