Problem
Adobe Premiere Elements gets stuck at loading PlayerMediaCore.prm during launch.
Solution
In the Run dialog box, type %appdata% and click OK.
The Roaming folder opens.
Navigate to the following location:
Adobe\Premiere Elements\<product_version>
Note
<product_version> is the appropriate Premiere Elements version folder, for example, 16.0 for Premiere Elements 2018, 17.0 for Premiere Elements 2019.
Open the Debug Database.txt file.
Locate the following flag entry:
DS.ForceCPUOnly false false
Modify the flag entry to true as shown below:
DS.ForceCPUOnly true false
Save the changes by choosing File > Save in Notepad.
Note
If Adobe Premiere Elements did not launch properly in the past and this is a first-time installation, you may be unable to locate the flag entry mentioned in Step 5. In that case, replace the code you have on your Debug Database.txt file by copy-pasting the code from the Debug Database.txt file. Then, continue from Step 5.
