Preview wont stop immediately after pause

[defaultk46zh6rf19bp]

I am having a issue with my video preview when I pause. 
What happends, is when i pause my video it will keep on playing. Somethimes it looks like it is going to crash but it will close and than reopen with the same project opened. It is very weird.

This problem randomly happened without me knowing if i did something wrong. I have optimized Premiere Pro for my PC and it did not do anything. 
My PC Specifications: 
Windows 10
Ryzen 5 2600 (non x)
NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1660 (6GB)
16GB Ram

It runs on a SSD.

please tell us your source properties and sequence settings

My clips are in 1920 x 1080 60fps and my sequence settings 2560 x 1440 60 fps. When I put my clip in the timeline I use 'scale to frame size'. But I have always used these settings and never had a problem untill recently.

your last post is marked as the correct answer.  did changing your workflow regarding "scale to frame size" solve your problem?

No, I misclicked.

Delete the Media Cache and Media Cache files:

If that doesn't work,try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try Preferences > Audio Hardware and set Input to None.

If that doesn’t work, try updating or rolling back your graphics driver directly from the video card manufacturer’s site.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Thank you! This seems to fix it.
