Adobe keeps crashing when editing a podcast

[DKhab]

I'm editing 2 WAV files for a podcast and PP keeps crashing (instant exit) during the edit when I press the spacebar to begin playback after making an edit. I'm not sure what's going on, but it's driving me nuts! This didn't happen in previous versions of PP. Currently on PP15.2, running on a Windows PC Version 10.0.19042 Build 19042.

or

Try resetting the premiere pro preferences, as follow - 

Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while launching Premiere Pro. You can release the Alt key or Option key when the splash screen appears.
To reset preferences and plug-in cache at the same time, hold down Shift-Alt (Windows) or Shift-Option (Mac OS) while the application is starting. Release the Shift-Alt keys or Shift-Option keys when the splash screen appears.
