slow lagging keyboard shortcuts and cuts

[gad282551838cmx]

Working On Premiere latest version, my work requires quick cuts, adding transcription and music for social media, short videos, hd.
Lately I've been experiencing slowness in the reaction time of the cuts, Spacebar for pause, and the cursor between the cuts - all with annoying delay.

Even when I'm in snap mode, the cursor doesn't stop exactly at the cut point when I drag it there, but jumps a few frames forward or back.

my global fx is on mute

playback resolution on 1/4

and cache files deleted

The keyboard works and responds normally and quickly in all other programs.

Im working on an intel(R) Core(TM)i7-8700 cpu @ 3.20 Hz 3.19 GHz

16 GB RAM, 64-bit + NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060

Any advice?

You're on the borderline with your hardware. I've actually seen better results using full playback resolution and high quality playback. So, you might play with those. Also, try setting your audio hardware preferences Input to No input. It's a strange setting but sometimes produces results.

Thank you for your response.
Can you tell me what hardware I should have?
Because until recently everything was working smoothly.

In After Effects for example, 
with more complex compositions, 
special effects and transitions 
I experience less slowness.

I also tried the matter of changing the sound setting, I forgot to mention.

I applied almost every advice I found on the net, 
including Adobe's cleaning tool for all software and reinstalling them
Is it related to premiere updates or the latest versions?

You may be able to find a specific reason for it, but it will be increasingly difficult as updates go on. That's why we upgrade our hardware every xx years. The developers of every application take advantage of new hardware horsepower and thus it's a constantly changing target for developers and users like us.

You mentioned the cache, did you also reset preferences. I clear my cache with every update, and reset the prefs if I think I need to. Hold down shift while you start PP.

Here's the Adobe listing of hardware requirements.

I'm having a similar issue with totally differenct hardware (Mac Mini M1). Any suggestions on what might be causing it if it's not a hardware issue? It only started happening a month or so ago and was find before that. I've cleared out the media cache. Next thing I might try would be deleting preferences but I'm not sure if that would delete my keyboard shortcuts too, and I really don't want to have to reprogramme those.

Resetting preferences does not delete keyboard shortcuts, but it does change it back to the default one. So, you just need to select the file you want.

Here's the folder to look in for PP Prefs in Windows: (sorry, I don't know that Mac path)

%UserProfile%\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro

Just paste that into File Explorer.

You can backup all files in that folder, (zip/7z) and then delete all files (except the zip), and start PP, it will recreate all the files it needs to be at default settings. If it does not fix your issue, you can replace all those files you removed (using the zip) and be back right where you started.

FWIW: That folder should be backed up with your regular backup.
