Thank you so much, the log out/log in of Creative Cloud desktop app worked on my iMac for this issue. Really appreciate users like you who want to help solve the problem, THANK YOU! On a possibly related note, I had a strange suspicion that Encoder might be asking me if I really wanted to quit premiere... even though the prompt was coming from Encoder. So after doing your log out/log in method, I re-opened media encoder and restarted the process of creating proxies for 27 interviews, and it was doing okay, but ALSO, I had premiere open, and did not quit premiere. I was actually not getting the media encoder prompt previously, until I quit premiere. I didn't think premiere had to be open for media encoder to work, but maybe it does in some strange buggy world? In any case, I left premiere open (had to fix something on one of the exports anyway), and still no quit prompt... crossing fingers and leaving it overnight to continue working!!!
