Premiere pro experiences lag whenever i drop a file in from my computer

[IAmFinn]

Everyhting runs fine and smooth then when i need to add a clip to the project everything lags there is delay to everything i click and when i try to run the footage nothing moves in the sequence bar. I saw a fix to this but it is outdated because i can no longer find drives under preferences. If anoyone knows a fix to this problem it would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Do not drag and drop but rather use the import option or the Media Browser.

I will give it a try and see what happens

Have you tried resetting preferences and/or reseting your workspace?
Reset your preferences by holding shift+alt (or option) when you launch Premiere
