windows 11 (edition: workstation) no longer boots after master suite cs6 installation

Question

hi everyone,

i got the following problem and i'm looking for a solution without deleting all adobe registry entries. can anyone help?

after the master suite cs6 installation on my windows 11 (edition: workstation), the pc no longer starts.

procedure:

the security setting core isolation was deactivated so that all master suite cs6 drivers could be installed without problems during the setup and no errors occurred (otherwise i got the following error messages: PxHlpa64.sys driver and Px Engine Device Driver / Rovi Corporation could not be loaded). after the installation all master suite cs6 updates were applied with the application manager. the core isolation was reactivated and windows 11 (edition: workstation) was rebooted.

note:

there was not such an error on my windows 11 (edition: pro)

many thanks in advance!

CS6 is 13-year-old unsupported software that was never certified to run on Win11 machines. You're taking a big risk with incompatible old products on new devices. Personally, I see no upside in it. Even if it does install, there's no guarantee it will work as expected.

Best advice is to replace old products with supported ones.
