CC apps incredibly slow to start up

[wastedpixels]

I have noticed that all my CC apps really start very slow. It takes Photoshop and Illustrator and Indesign (my most freq. used apps) more than a minute to go from double click to document window. I have switched off the new 'enhanced' document window because that also is tremendously slow (takes more than twenty seconds to even appear when creating a new doc...

Now I have a 2 x 2.93 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon Mac with OS X 10.12.3 and a 1Tb SSD drive, but still the software is so very slow to boot.

They all seem to almost freeze when loading their (Adobe) plug-ins and UI files...

Is there anything I can do to get a more snappy boot?

Hi wastedpixels,

I understand that you are facing slowness with your CC apps. You may try resetting the preferences in your apps.

Also please check and ensure that your machine meets the minimum system requirement for CC 2017 apps System requirements | Adobe Creative Cloud

Could you expand on your answer?  Which preferences would I need to set to improve the loading speed of the apps?
