Turn off Mac Elements Auto Creation 2021

How do I turn off Elements Auto Creation 2021 (for the Mac)? I don't want this running in the background and constantly sending pop up messages on my screen. I've seen some instructions for the PC version, but it doesn't seem to match options on the Mac.

Someting else to try:

 

Go to Apple>System Settings>Notifications>Application Notifications and turn off Elements Auto Creations 2021

yes, it's turned off there too.
 
And just now as I was typing, I got another round of these notifications. They even seem to be coming in pairs. Egad!
 
Thank you, though.

What version of macOS are you using?

 

Two things you can do:

 

1. In the Photoshop Elements Organizer go to Elements Organizer>Preferences>Media Analysis and uncheck

    Generate Auto Creations

   

  Under Elements Organizer>Preferences>Partener Services uncheck all that stuff

 

2. For macOS Ventura 13.x.x Go to Apple>System Settings>General>Login Items and turn off

    Elements Auto Creations

 

    For all otheres go to Apple>System Preferences>Users & Groups click on the User Name and under

    Login Items remove Elements Auto Creations

Thank you. I've done both of these, a couple weeks ago. And yet, still I'm getting these pop up messages all the time. 

 

I'm running Ventura 13.1
