A lot of these menu items and features in the menu are redundant and can be performed by pressing a button in Premiere's interface, using a keyboard shortcut, or with a different context menu in one of the panels. Now let's go over the menu. You'll see File, Edit, Clip, Sequence, Markers, Graphics and Titles, View, Window, and Help. This will reset the position of all the panels and all the windows so that it looks just like it does in the screenshot below. Then Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout. If it doesn't, go to Window > Workspace > Editing. When you open up your project in Premiere Pro, it should look something like this window.

You may also tick the little box here to either show or turn off this welcome at startup.

When you open Premiere Pro by default it starts with a little pop-up window which shows you recent projects, gives you an option to create a new project or open an existing project, to learn some aspect of the program or just exit the program.
