Premiere worked great yesterday, today it's crashing like crazy.

I had a couple more exports to do this morning, left over from a full day's work yesterday. I can't get Premiere to work well at all, especially exporting as h264. Exporting in ProRes seems to work pretty well. but of course I need to deliver in the smaller .mp4 formats. I need premiere to be more consistent.

My Windows computer did a restart yesterday due to a Microsoft update... has your computer updated?

If yes... read below

I've had this issue for about a week now. One day, working perfectly. Next day, crashes anytime I try to do an H264 export. Nothing was changed.

Yep, sounds familiar. I really needed to get 7 hours of billable work done today as I'm going on vacation next week. Instead, I got 1 or 2 max. Thanks Adobe. You made me look like a fool.
