Updates have been disabled for this machine?

[Ram308077909y8j]

I can't update my Lightroom Classic and Photoshop. I keep getting this pop-up "Updates have been disabled for this machine. Please contact your administrator." How do I fix this ? Please help.

Normally this happens when a company or school provides the computer and operating system and has placed restrictions on what software can be installed. So, do exactly what the message says — please contact your administrator.

In my case I am a single user so I am the administrator, but I am also getting this message. There are no restrictions on my computer.

And the error message you are getting is exactly the same as above, word-for-word, identical?

[Ian313049160s3o]

Yes, word for word. The only way I can upgrade apps is by uninstalling and reinstalling them.

Ok, thank you for the information. I do not know enough about MAC computer to help further. Other people will probably jump in who do know.

I am having the exact same issue on my personal macbook. I don't get why this is so difficult to fix
