Adobe Forcing me to update from 2024? How do I stop this popup?

I'm still getting this too on my travel laptop (Mac Intel i7). It also freezes Photoshop when it pops up. When I click "update", nothing happens. I then have to force quit. At any rate, I don't expect Adobe is going to change this behavior.

 This is one of the most annoying pop-ups in Photoshop ever!

I have the latest version [v 26.4.1] andd still it disrupts my work as it pops up suggesting that I should update Photoshop!

But when I open the Creative Cloud app and search for updates, it says that there are none andd I have the latest version! 

 Really Adobe? 

Please fix this immediately. 

Hi,

I'm using Photoshop 25.6.0 and after updating Creative Cloud, I am now getting the following pop-up that is appearing frequently, and even in the middle of a work session (completely wrecking my creative flow when painting). This is completely unacceptable for a product I am paying for. I know which verson I'm on and I don't want to update because of.. reasons.

Why is there no checkbox to never show it again? I've set all of my notifications to off in Creative Cloud - including in-app notifications - why isn't that being respected? It sometimes feels like you actually want your customers to switch products.

The only solution I have found is to open photoshop whilst offline and connect to the internet after, so far so good!

This window is not closeable and renders old photoshop versions unusable:

I'm very aware of the software version I'm on, and am using it intentionally. This started popping up this morning after CC Update and now I cannot close it. I am on Rural Internet and cannot just update Photoshop every single time there's a release. This needs to stop. It pops up every time the application is opened (WIN 10) and cannot be closed (close button does not work or the window re-opens itself).

In fact, because this window has focus I can't even close the application in order to stop this. I have to close Photoshop via the Task Mamanger because this renders the whole application stuck in this state.

This also pops up randomly: It's not that this opens on startup, but randomly appears mid-work. So as I am halfway through a project this will open and force me to close the work mid-way through, losing all progress.

Please remove this useless popup that prevents you from using the last-most-recent version, this is insane.

UPDATE: A second window now has NO CLOSE BUTTON AT ALL and the only way out of this is to update immediatelty, rendering the currently-installed application totally unusable.

This has just happened to me as well. PS 2024 is stable for me, and I don't want to use 2025. Plenty of people are using older versions not just because of preference but because they don't want to break workflows. Adobe is becoming more and more hostile towards their users, and it's a shame; I've been an Adobe loyalist for a long time, but this sort of cynical and hostile treatment is making me investigate alternatives, and I know I am not the only one.

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm about to install the Affinity software I just purchased.

Came here to find a solution too. It comes up multple times a day. My computer wont handle the 2025 verison. I paid for both computer and 2024 software so just Adobe should just us deliver the work for our cleints without coinstnat nagging. @Adobe please use a dont show again prompt. 

I'm having the same problem. Only started tonight for me - I was using program fine up to yesterday. If you disconnect from the web the alert doesnt pop up and you can work away. Once you reconnect it will pop up again. Very annoying...
