Premiere Pro not reacting to most clicks

Hi, I have been using Premiere Pro for 2-3 months now and have created several videos with no issues. Since yesterday, however, Premiere Pro does not respond to clicks in the timeline or in the menu. The main menu works fine and some other features can also be clicked on, but the timeline does not react to my clicks any more. It is no longer possible to work with the program. Importantly, if I open older projects they work just fine. If start a brand new project, it works fine at the beginning and after a few edits the same problem occurs. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

After looking at discussion pages on here and tying out a few different solutions, this seemed to work for me:

Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout

Did it in the morning and used it all day with no issue anymore.

Same problem here. 2024 version... I was hoping to find a solution, but sadly its still open 😄 You can temporary solve it by unfcous the window (switching windows) and then go back into PP. That works for me, but it's annoying. Because when you are in the flow and then it again reacts on nothing its annoying... Hope this works for you and also hope someone finds a solution or Adobe brings an update for this

It is completely mind-boggeling. I now installed Premiere Pro on a different system. Everything worked perfectly for about 20 minutes and I was really happy. Then, all of a sudden, the exact same problem occurred as on my PC. I am completely clueless why the software behaves like this. And on 2 completely different computers. I am no longer able to work with Premiere Pro. Can anyone help?

this has been my life for the past couple of months. Even Adober Sr Tech's aren't able to create a workaround that actually works. Sorry I can't offer any help on this, but I thought you'd appreciate knowing that you're not crazy and this is not the usual "user error" scenario. i'm sure at a granular level it's user error for all of our issues, but that's due to Adobe putting out a product that is not even remotely user friendly any more. I feel like I would have been better off using iMovie embedded on this new Mackbook Pro M1 Pro machine, than going through this nightmare with Adobe.

And a warning: if you use Productions, you're in for more of a world of pain, because all of the ingesting that many are suggesting to resolve this issue with mixed media is not available to any projects within a Production. And most Tier 1 Adobe tech help don't even know what an PR Production is? They assume we're talking generally using the word "Production" in its generic meaning.
