@DarkDeviL you dont have to turn off Windows Defender Firewall - just add Photoshop to the allowed list. Turning off is a pretty drastic/risky maneuver.

I restored a previous version dated February 10.  It works.  Does a lousy job, but it does something.  Uses the old content aware not Firefly I believe

I've faced the same issues and just allowing the app through the Firewall settings didn't work. What fixed is though, was going to the advanced settings of Windows Defender Firewall and deleting specific rules to block Adobe products (outgoing and incoming). The rules to block something are marked red there.
Also both Adobe Cleaner Tool and Adobe Limited Access tools didn't touch these rules, so you'll have to go and edit them by hand.

hello. I have the same problem and I can't solve it.

  • I added PS and Creative to the allowed list.
  • I turned off the Firewall.
  • restore the firewall.
  • disabled it in the Outbound rule.
  • connected to different connections.

I tried all and nothing works. What else can I do? 😞

Photoshop uses Microsoft Edge WebView for the popup window that warns about updates or payment issues. Check the taskbar by expanding the Photoshop process to see which subprocesses are open, and add exceptions in the firewall to allow the connection.

@KLWGJewellery The issue isnt with your software or your subscription. Check your firewall settings. They are blocking Firefly.

I realized that I was getting this error because I couldn't connect to Adobe servers. And I solved the problem by turning off the Windows firewall. Those who have the same problem can fix it by following the method I followed.

I have the same problem. I turned off the firewall on my computer. The result did not change. Is there any new information about the solution?
