Michael, do you use a UI scale other than 100%?

When I "SAVE AS" or open any thing within windows (like if I am picking where to save my render .. anything where the save dialogue box pops up) It freezes and I have to Control + Alt + Delete to close it and start over ... I have the latest drivers for all of my hardware up to date as well. I have an i9-7940X 3.10GHz w 64 Gig of RAM. No way this should be happening.

Sorry you're running into issues here.

More information is needed to understand the source of the issue here.

There are many GPU driver related changes with 2019. This has possibly been the most common cause of issues.

On the Windows side, some users have had better luck navigating directly to the Nvidia site to get the latest drivers. Windows update has not always provided the latest versions. Premiere Pro requires updated drivers that support CUDA 9.2 in order to use GPU acceleration.

For those with Intel drivers, there is a similar situation. Intel's driver assistant can notify the user that the driver is current when it is not. For those with Dual GPU systems or laptops, please update your Intel driver directly from the Intel website.
