Performance Limitation Detected Issue

I started having issues yesterday with a blue pop up when I launched adobe express to create a YouTube Thumbnail. It is now saying "Performance Limitations Detected. Please ensure your browser is updated to the latest version and hardware acceleration is enabled for optimal performance." I am using Chrome and everything including the browser and Adobe Express are up to date. I also cleared my cache as well. It still throws the error upon clicking in to create. I use Adobe Express on my computer thru the web. The same issue also happened when I tried it on Micrtosoft Edge. Is there a fix for this? Everything literally lags when I am trying to work! EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!! Never happened until yesterday.

Hi @Chris35189403go1l, Welcome to our Adobe Express community!

This shouldn't be happening.

Can you confirm that no changes have been made to the browser or any new extensions/plugins installed, as they can sometimes cause such conflicts? An active VPN or firewall can also sometimes trigger performance warnings in web-based apps.

If possible, test on a different network to rule out any connectivity-related issues and share your observations here.

You may want to refer to this article once and check if everything's in place: https://adobe.ly/4qdxt9z

If you still have the issue, please share a screen recording, and we'll help you resolve it.

Thanks!
