Thanks John! Your generous response led me to the solution. I did need an NVIDIA update and I am now launching Premiere in administer mode, but what fixed it was found in the thread 1001579. I opened the "NVIDIA Control Panel" (not to be mistaken for the GeForce Experience Panel),
opened the "Manage3D Settings" option,
on the "Program Settings" tab on Option 1 I twirled down and selected "Premiere Pro",
on Option 2 (Select Preferred Graphics Processor For This Program) I selected "Use High Performance NVIDIA Processor"
Editing!
Thanks,
Richardrock
