Question

Running as an administrator slowly becoming a requirement for CC apps

Hi,

I can only run Photoshop CC 2015.5.1 when I check Run as administrator in the exe properties. Ditto for Bridge.

I have tried all these fancy security settings recommended by Adobe reps. This and the various re-installation and cleanup procedures that can be found here and elsewhere are just a loss of time. Nothing helps beside running PS and Bridge as an administrator. The Windows 10 troubleshooter (in the Compatibility tab of the Properties dialog box) says that the application is incompatible.

Adobe, what are you doing to my system when installing CC updates ? Time to hire a developer who could be able to put an end to this installation mess.

kglad,

My question is not "how to" (I know that, I'm a former software engineer and developer) but "why must I" (the answer is in the Adobe apps code) .
