Premiere Pro will not launch after latest update (Window 7)

You can workaround the issue (worked for me) by

1. Opening Nvidia Control Panel.

2. Under 3D Settings, Go to Manage 3D Settings.

3. Click on the Program Settings Tab and Select Adobe Premiere Pro from the dropdown list.

4. Then choose 'Integrated Graphics' (or any option aside from Nvidia or Use Global Setting). Hit Apply.

5. Adobe Premiero Pro should start up now .

P.S. I'm on a Laptop with Nvidia Geforce 650m running on Windows 7.
This seems like an Nvidia-Premiere conflict. So keep this workaround until a new Nvidia driver update or Premiere update is released. Cheers!

Updating to Windows 10 is not an option. Maya, Vray and Nuke are stable under this configuration which happens to be identical on my render boxes. Adobe needs to get it together. Looks like I'll be reverting to 12.0.0.

Most of my Adobe contacts have told me that some may get it to run, however, those on Windows 7 should not be updating to Premiere 2018. I'm working with several government agencies media departments and they were told not to update to Premiere 2018 if you are on Windows 7 as well. Once again, some may be successful but it is highly unstable or just won't run. From Adobe Requirements pages:

• Microsoft Windows 7 with Service Pack 1 (64 bit) or Windows 8.1 (64 bit), or Windows 10 (64 bit). However Windows 10 is recommended

Every client I am working with with Windows 7 have major issues right now. Our Windows 10 systems are running flawlessly.

I have the latest Nvidia drivers installed but it will not launch unless I choose to launch with Integrated graphics and not my Quadro Card.  I have also tried installing the newest release 12.1.1 and I'm having exactly the same problem.

There was a work around resolution posted to Twitter by Adobe support that worked for me and I will leave here to help others:

"...the bug is filed for Premiere Pro 12.1 & After Effects 15.1 versions. You can install Premiere Pro 12.0.1 and After Effects 15.0.1. Also, install the same version of Media Encoder for compatibility."

So fellow sufferers, give that a try!

Having the same issue. I was told by support that Microsoft Visual C++ updates were to blame. They ran a repair on all of them and for a minute it seemed to work but then NOPE.

My issue is either:

1. Load Premiere then the computer shuts down.

or

2. Premiere loads but when trying to render computer shuts down.

Then I find that windows shuts down once or twice after that Premiere bug triggered shutdown.

Adobe support claimed:

"ntdll.dll and other .DLL are due to Corrupt or partial microsoft update packages

So we ran repairs on them and it still happened.... then I went drastic and wiped the machine, installed Windows 10 again, ran updates and installed Premiere Pro again. Exact same issue! Still shutting down the machine. (I've done a thorough hardware test and can confirm no issues there)

Some of the errors I was getting before the re-install:

Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\System32\ucrtbase.dll

####

Faulting application path: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2018\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe

Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\ntdll.dll

Faulting module path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\UWA\UpdaterCore.dll

####

I will have to run some tests to see what new errors may come up.

I hope this gets solved ASAP
