Premiere Pro CC won't open with Windows 10

so... ...Everything else with my system works fine, I've updated all drivers and software otherwise and all function normally with every single program I have (quite a few) including accelerated 3d design apps, but the adobe software fails to start.  The problem is with Windows?  No.  That's a non starter.

It's more likely this is a renewed CUDA\Optimus bug.  They updated to a later version of CUDA and tried to build against it.  I heard from a guy I worked with before who does 3d games and 3d design app interfaces.  If you build with new CUDA and OPENCL against an older library like 9.2, it'll run, but not well.  It looks like they updated to 10.1 then tried to build to a 9.2 target, with several virtualized function calls that only exist in 10.1, judging from the common error for C++ 2015 I keep getting.  You cannot hope to build on a new platform for broadcast software (that's used by many), it doesn't have the backward compatibility.  If this were a limited project where only a single department were using it on their own platform, I could see having a few hiccups in the build from new code not yet implemented being common.  A rebuild on a newer set of libraries takes time, but is usually done overnight.  For broadcast software like CC, you build on an older system for an older system.  3-10 years of backward compatibility is minimum for software on a buy it once basis.  With SAAS, I'd say go back 15 years.  They have.  CS6.

SO far, 13.03 is the latest that will work for me, but I have CS6 to fall back on and I've gotten a version of Rush CC to work.  I can work with that for now.  But this problem is clearly a build problem.  It's happened before, it'll happen again.  My advice:

Support two video pipelines.

I'm looking into AVID and VEGAS right now.

Right, all tested - so in the case someone has similar problem with Windows 10 my results are below:

Versions 13.00 till 13.03 works fine.

Version 13.1 - could only see launch window (forever). The same issue when you start "run as administrator" instead of using Adobe Creative Cloud.

Looks like there is something wrong with this versions as many other issues on last hours forum eg:

Re: Playback Issues with Adobe Premiere Pro (13.1)

Its difficult to uninstall or reinstall, reboot helps (sometimes), sometimes needed to remove entire Adobe Creative Cloud (and all aps) and use Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool. Tested few time with different options.

To avoid frustration, looks like latest stable version is: 13.03

Again, have you tried right-clicking the icon on the desktop, and selecting 'run as administrator' ... ?

When it hangs on the start screen, there's often a scrambled file. So try holding down Alt/Shift keys while you launch the program ... and see if it then can finish launching.

Just to reinforce Neil, and throw in my two bits--I own both Mac and Windows computers and work with both in the field and both are excellent with Adobe products. It definitely comes down to the preference of the operating system. If you are having problems with Adobe it could be how your operating system is configured, hardware issues (including basic requirements not being met), conflicting applications and corrupted installs. I work a lot on Windows 10 and it is absolutely amazing!
