Hi,

I was wondering if there is a way to restore all app settings to default settings without uninstalling.

I want to restore the settings for Photoshop, Lightroom, Premiere, Aftereffects to default settings. How do I go about this

There is no magic "nuke them all" button. The most efficient way therefore would be to simply delete the actual preference files in your user directory, so the next time the programs create new ones with factory defaults. On Windows systems this would be C:\Users\Tim\AppData\Roaming\Adobe and so on.

If deleting files is not an appealing option to you, there should be an option in each of the programs to reset the preferences to the default.
