Pop up verifying window [on Catalina]

[jamieg49575699]

I've just updated my MacBook to Catalina and then updated my adobe programs. Since doing so a window pops up whenever I try to open a program that says, for example 'Veryfying "Adobe Photoshop 2020" along with a loading bar. It loads for a long time (20+ minutes) until complete but the program doesn't open at the end and this cycle continues. Any ideas on why this is?

It seems a Catalina problem affecting various apps, even Apple’s own. See eg https://appletoolbox.com/why-is-macos-catalina-verifying-applications-before-i-can-open-them/

Thank you. After hours of waiting they suddenly started to work but I'll take a look at these anyway incase anything happens again
