I did what anyone without a 12 year old kid around would do, I hopped on the internet. One possible solution was to make sure I have the most current drivers for my video card. Off to AMD I went. I downloaded the most current drivers for my Radeon card and immediately lost my second monitor. As a matter of fact, the card didn't even show up in my Device Manager any longer. NOW what?

I navigated over to Dell's website and reinstalled the original software and drivers my computer shipped with. About half way through the install my second monitor magically reappeared. I tried Photoshop and Premiere and both fully launched without the error.

At some point in the not too distant future I'm going to need a new computer as my current Dell struggles a bit with 4K video editing. The camera I'm eyeballing does 8K which will almost certainly be too much for my current setup.
I've about had it with Microsoft updates. Microsoft updated GWiz's tower and the next morning, her mouse and keyboard didn't work. Did a system restore and it worked again. Windows updated again and again it didn't work. There was no fixing that. SO...reformatted the drive, reloaded the OS, reloaded all apps, and did every possible Windows update and it works perfectly. Microsoft has broken more than one of my machines and they force feed this shit down you're throat. They just forced Edge on everyone and it cannot be deleted.
