Most of the time, Premiere’s preference files don’t break. But… every so often, things in the application start to go… awry.
When that happens:

You know you did this correctly when the Welcome screen does not display any projects.
NOTE: Deleting preferences does not delete any media or projects. However, it WILL reset any customized settings like unsaved workspaces and custom preferences.
I can say from first hand experience that this can help with inexplicable bugginess.
