Generate Auto Creations will not stay off - Elements 2023

Hello Leanna

I had a similar issue. I found this worked for me, The path will be slightly different for you, C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\25.0\logs

"Adobe support have looked, they took control of my PC via the agent chat and tried a few things, things that I had done many times before. The results were the same, no tags. Then they clicked the 'Reset Face Analysis' button. It's a good job I had backed up my catalog folder before they did that as I would've lost years’ worth of tagging.

 After about 30 mins they said my only fix would be to start again, from scratch as my catalog is likely corrupt and unfixable.
 So I tried again, I uninstalled everything Adobe as my  Organizer > File > Preferences weren’t saving and even Adobe reader was crashing.
 It was during the reinstall using the default location that I found this log file:
C:\Users\mickb\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Elements Organizer\25.0\logs
in it was an error message stating it could not open files

C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\25.0\CAHeadless\AutoCreationsConfig.xml and AutoCreatorPrefs.xml
I changed the 25.0 folder permissions and all child objects to allow full control to users and restarted the app.
Result, I have my smart tags back and also my preferences now stick.

I'm so pleased!"
