Adobe Photoshop still says Update Required despite everything being up to date. Help?

Hi all,

The other day I tried to open one of my Photoshop files and it popped up with this:

Pieta5C32_0-1629426584073.png

I opened the link and followed the steps to resolve the possible issues. As far as I can tell, both my Windows system and my Internet Explorer (the default browser for Windows) are completely up to date (Windows 10 & Internet Explorer 11, respectively).

Bear in mind that:

(a) I am a student on a school laptop, and as such, do not have administrative privileges which in turn means that

(b) I can't see what version of Internet Explorer I have, only that I have Windows 10.

Google informs me that having Windows 10 automatically means I have Internet Explorer 11 so that's what I went with.

 

I have no idea how to fix this problem and I'd really love to have Photoshop up and running sometime soon (my assignments are counting on it!)

 

Thanks 😄

-Hannah

TLS 1.0 and 1.1 are end of life now.  You need to enable TLS 1.2 connections throughout your system otherwise you cannot connect with Adobe's Servers.  See below for the announcement and links to relevant fixes which includes among other things using modern browsers with latest updates like MS Edge instead of IE.

Hope that helps.

Alright, so I gave in and spoke to support. I never have good experiences dealing with support as I find that they are typically unaware of specific problems like mine. I was wrong, they knew exactly how to solve it, gave me some tools to wipe all historic adobe software, then gave me two different executables for both creative cloud and 2019 premier elements, and then it worked without any issues.

 

Don't be like me, speak to support 🙂

There is a problem currently with Adobe/Windows10/IE11 to log in to Adobe. The problem lies with Adobe but they have not officialy recognized it yet. Some users have reported it fixed by installing Creative Cloud and then trying to install/login. However this didn't work for me, maybe it works for you.

That's the absurdity of this situation, yes. The actual discontinuation of IE11 won't be untill 2022, but already a few days ago certain services of IE11 were disabled (which I believe has triggered the issues to Adobe's login solution).

Unwanted software could be blocking you from seeing updates, so check your antivirus (I use Windows Defender)

to see if you have any threats.

I have the same issue like all these other people in the thread. 

 

No, the issue does not lie on my end with unwanted software, or is antivirus related.

if ie is your default browser, the problem is on your end because ie doesn't support current security. 

 

change your default browser to one that supports current security.

I don't think you understand the problem here. Adobe is using IE11 services for their software. My default browser is Chrome, but I tried putting IE11 as default as that's a proposed solution in the Adobe FAQ.

I appreciate the help, I followed the process, rebooted, nothing.

 

Maybe I am completely misunderstanding this myself, but I don't think so. The way I see it is this:

 

When you try to install either Photoshop or Premier Elements 2019, you download the PremiereElements_2019_LS31_win64.exe file from Adobe after logging in and locating the software under 'products' in your profile. When you load that executable it opens up an installer window. This window is an IE11 modified browser as far as I can tell, and that's where the problem lies, since Adobe historically used IE11 to install their own software, it's blocking users from installing it again since the tls 1.2 became mandatory. I have zero ability of making that Adobe executable use Edge or Chrome instead.

 

Does that make sense?

My default browser is Chrome. I tried changing it to Edge, and then it also didn't work, and yes everything is tls 1.2 (windows and browsers are latest versions fwiw).

 

I installed Premiere Pro and used it fine by using the Creative Cloud Desktop. The issue is that I can no longer install my Premier Elements 2019 and my Photoshop Elements 2019. Again, I believe the installation window of both 2019 applications use a modified IE11 browser, which is no longer supported.

 

If you want to help, then please try to download https://esd.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/PRE/17/win64/PremiereElements_2019_LS31_win64.exe en try to install it.

no email contact.  use chat or phone (but chat is quicker and more reliable).

 

using a browser that allows popups and cookies, contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human
