Premiere Pro 22 / Media Encoder Crashes on Startup

[B-R-A-I-N-S-T-O-R-M]

Every time I open Premiere Pro it crashes on the initial load of the program (I never get passed the initial screen, see attached screenshot - it locks up there and then stops responding until I force close it).

Here are my specs:

OS: Windows 11

GPU: RTX 3070

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X

RAM: 32GB

I have completely wiped these programs and their files and reinstalled from scratch, but Premiere and Media Encoder still always crash immediately upon starting. Photoshop works fine.

Hello B-R-A-I-N-S-T-O-R-M,

Sorry for this strange behavior. Have you ever been able to install Premiere Pro on this machine in the past? Is the screenshot of the Splash Screen taken after plug-ins are loaded, or does it not get to the loading of the plug-ins? Let me know. Either way, you might try disabling plug-ins temporarily. 

Thanks,
Kevin
