Timeline locked and unusable, cannot select it or use it

Question

So silly me wanting to use an editor to edit, its my own fault really. Sadly to edit you need the timeline. I can scrub through the timeline, but the marker does not move. Sometimes the timeline is still even grayed out and looks to not be selectable but then I sometimes have multiple windows highlighted as in use. The Space bar will not play a movie either. This is kind of considered a critical issue as ALL my clients work needs to come to a halt. I am literally unable to use Adobe Premiere.

I have disabled the GPU, tried CUDA and OpenCL.

The laptop is a Dell Precision 7720

16GB DDR4

Windows 10 Pro

i7-7820HQ

Nvidia Quadro P4000 16GB RAM

All drivers up to date
