Premiere Pro 22.6.2 (Build 2) - Screen goes Blank and Freezes when Opening a Project

[Brandon W.]

New projects can be created fine, but opening existing ones results in blank, frozen screen that requires an 'end task' in Task manager to escape. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling, as well as importing existing projects into new projects - no improvement.

Hey Brandon W.,

Welcome to the community, and sorry for the issue. Could you go to Window > Workspaces, uncheck Import Workspace from Projects, and let us know if you're still experiencing the issue? When exactly does Premiere Pro freeze when you launch your project? If the workaround that I shared does not work, would it be possible for you to share a screen recording of the issue? We're here to help. 

Thanks,

Ishan

Hey Ishan!

Sorry for the late reply. The issue seems to have resolved itself with no corrective action taken on my part. If the issue presents itself again however, I'll try unchecking "Import Workspace" and see what happens. Thanks for the support!
