Hey guys I too was facing the same issue after upgrading to windows 11. All you have to do is:
Go to> Desktop > Right click on START > Device Manager > Display Adapters > Right click on any Driver and click on update Driver
Browse my computer for drivers > Let me choose the drivers from the list... then choose the latest driver available >
VOILA!! no more lag. No more downgrade.
You can try the method with Premiere pro in the background.

My device specs:
Acer Nitro 5
AMD Ryzen 5
8 GB RAM
4 GB graphics card.

HOPE IT HELPED 🙂

Issues like this mainly comes from the CPU, or your discs are full and PP is lost.

In my opinion, for those of you with laptops, even the most powerful ones, it's no surprise if you're having issues, these things heat up too much. It's good for smalls FHD YouTube projects you'll have to edit in the train or the plane, but that's it. I'll never understand what's the point with these crazy and super expensive laptop, this is so useless but again, it's my own point of view. For those with a real editing rig, it's a different story.

Also, this is the main reason people are using proxies. PP has been laggy for random reasons since years. So if you don't use proxies, and you are lagging, it's time to give it a try, especially if it's 4K footages.

Some interesting points, SilkrOad.

It's really about matching your hardware, be it desktop or laptop, to your workflow and structuring your workflow around formats that are good for editing.

I was just having the same problem. It was super slow. I downgraded and voilá, I have workable software again! It's definitely on the software's side, not pc!

Is there any acknowledgement from Adobe that this problem exists? I'm on PC, previous Premiere Pro worked like a dream, since version 23 I have to keep restarting the project as performance dips the longer the project is open, eventually getting to the point that it's so laggy that it's impossible to work with. It's honestly shocking that this keeps happening and I'd really appreciate something official in a blog post from Adobe to let us know they know the problem exists, and are trying to work on a solution.

I'm on PC by the way, though I see from earlier posts that MAC users are being affected too.

There have been a ton of threads on this on this forum ... and in several, staffers have asked about specifics. They've also posted that some issues have been solved (they expect) in the public beta. And from that, it's clear they are aware there are issues like this.

It's frustrating that there's been no 'shipping' release of any fixes. I would recommend installing the public beta and seeing if that runs any better.

The public betas are in the Beta tab of the Creative cloud app. And they can be installed alongside the shipping version. And even better, you can open a project from a 23.x version in the 23.y public beta, see how it works. Close. And go right on working in the shipping version.

Though duplicating a project is never a bad idea. It's also wise to do save-as routinely in general editing to an incremented copy. Simply a fail-safe move.

I'm not sure what it is, the update or something else, but I can't get my project to load properly. Keep getting error messages and the program freezes up. After like almost twnety attempts, restarting my computer multiple times, freeing up space on my harddrive (because sometimes I'd get a few 'not enough disk space', in amid all the other times it froze), and uninstalling and reinstalling Prem Pro. The program itself now loads quickly, but my project doesn't. I finally got it to load yesterday, but there was some laggness. I saved my work obsessively, but today I'm having the same problem. I checked to see if the programs compatibility with my computer changed, but there are no issues. I usually make longer videos, and whenever I'd get slight issues like this before, the program was always due for an update, and after updating I had no problems at all. I am so frustrated that I can't work.

Same here, and I have an excellent computer. Still, Premiere got totally unusable. But it was a graphics driver issue. It's fixed now. Nvidia made a driver update that broke Premiere. Adobe even showed me a warning about this. I had to disable the GPU acceleration. This way it was still slow, but kind of usable. Yesterday I got a new driver update from Nvidia, switched back to GPU acceleration and voilà - everything works fast and fine again. Still, as I use Premiere professionally, it wasn't a great couple of weeks...

Thanks, Andreas.

Great news. Which driver was it that worked? Let us know.

Same with Mac Ventura. I'll have to migrate to another program. Maybe Final Cut. Too bad.

The Mac issues are a different thing ... and program head Francis Crossman just posted an additional thread about issues with holding memory for sequences and declining performance over several minutes as an acknowledged bug.

There's a couple things already officially noted about the Macs at this point.

I have the same problem with version 23.1, the solution for me was to use premiere in window, not use it maximized, so I think the problem comes from the nvidia drivers (studio drivers 528.24), have a laptop with nvidia and intel integrated gpu.

@Mohammad22644740grwc,

You've been suffering from faulty drivers for over a month? Pure torture. Try a clean installation of the new 528.24 studio drivers. Let us know how it goes, OK? Sorry for the hassle.

Thanks,
Kevin
