As described, if I leave any Adobe app open and I leave my Mac on sleep, the next day I need to force quit all Adobe apps left opened since they are all frozen.

OS: macOS Sequoia- V.15.3

Is your Mac a desktop or laptop?

Is the processor Intel or Apple Silicon?

Are you using Spaces for the Adobe Applications?

You might update your macOS Sequoia to 15.7.5 and see if that fixes the issue.

@alexmodee I had a similar work issue a couple of years ago but mine would either crash or worse, never woke up from its sleep! I had to force quit it to the point I had to turn off the power bar off!

What I learned from the IT guys at the time was they had turn off Wake for network access and enable power nap is not checked on in my System Settings (aka System Preferences). Every night, the IT department does an automated reset and back-ups, which means my Mac would often hang because the network connection dropped! They even suggested to 'toggle off' Always keep Creative Cloud up to date, because of the reset/back-ups every night.

General - Settings - General - Always keep Creative Cloud up to date - OFF
