Adobe is deleting HEVC decoder and encoder everytime I try to export video and I have to use anti-malware to block it from doing so.

 

Action: [Delete]
Target: C:\Users\Public\Documents\AdobeInstalledCodecsTier2\4.0\mc_enc_hevc.dll
Result: Blocked
Process: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2024\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Process Command line: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2024\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe"

Action: [Delete]
Target: C:\Users\Public\Documents\AdobeInstalledCodecsTier2\4.0\mc_dec_hevc.dll
Result: Blocked
Process: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2024\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe
Process Command line: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro 2024\Adobe Premiere Pro.exe"

 

I have subscription on another account paid yearly for something I might need once a month or even non, this is really frustrating and everytime I have to deal with it makes me think I could've had use the pirated version. Because it should never happened for the sake of 659.88USD/yr, like, is non of your employee using social media or Google? This problem can be traced back to 2017 easily, and multiple threads existed on this forum, don't know why Adobe doesn't fix that, probably for the verification of owner's subscription, but I don't care, okay? And other than this fix, there is another outrageous fix, keeping all the Adobe bloatware(Creative Cloud and stuff) running in your system background since the time you booted to the system(Automatic startup when system boot required) and DO NOT close it what so ever, I don't want to do that, and I should never have to do that, I don't want useless program eating up any of my RAM/CPU/Disks or even transfering 1Bit of data to the Internet in the background as much as possible if I don't need to use it, as far as I can tell, these HEVC dlls are required for Premiere Pro/Media Encoder/After Effects(other I have not used once), so you might say, it's HEVC, why don't you try exporting it to H264 maybe it's fine, uhhhh, impossible, because why would it works? Some of the people find it working, and I figured it out, their source files are not HEVC, so changing it to H264 doesn't needs the encoder anymore, but if the source file is still HEVC, you still needs the decoder, and boy does it ever delete both the encoder and the decoder at the same time. If this problem doesn't get fixed at the end of mid 2024, I'm gonna switch to pirated version. F**k you Adobe.

I read your post through several times. I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about, what your point or complaint actually is.

 

For one thing, your title is that Pr is actively deleting "critical HEVC components" but although you list some XML type comments at the top, there's no way to know what the heck you're doing when you somehow get those.

 

NO clue what you are trying to show.

 

Second, most major system apps like the Adobe stuff ... from Qucken to QuickBooks to Resolve to Avid to ... whatever ... load some things at startup. It makes using them easier. It's part of modern computing, and has been for years. Yea, "we" used to guard startup loads like crazy. But not so much anymore. With all the RAM/cache modern rigs use, it just isn't an operational problem anymore.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
