I assume, and please correct me if I am wrong that since I need to do a full uninstall and then reinstall in the exact same computer that I do not need to deactivate it first, am I right?
Also is there a tool somewhere whereby I could do a clean uninstall. I think there is one, isn't there? And though I plan to uninstall PS I do not want to uninstall anything else of the suite. The reason for the unistall is that some plugin has a DOS screen in the background with some message on it and I could not find out anything about that message nor what plugin creates it.(OMP: Warning #72: KMP_AFFINITY: affinity only supported for Intel(R) processors. OMP: Warning #71: KMP_AFFINITY: affinity not supported, using "disabled".
I uninstalled all plugins except 2, which i can't find how to, hence wanting to uni/install so that I could eventually know which plugin it is that creates that message and take care of it from there.
Thanks in advance 🙂
Thank you both for your help. The reset did not work but going to the plugins folders did and I found the culprit: PowerRetouchePro

Adobe does not reset activations, so be sure to deactivate first.
Try resetting Preferences before thinking about uninstalling to avoid reinstallation issues:
It takes a little while to get the timing down, so you may have to try more than once.
Resetting Preferences puts everything back to a factory installation.

@jane-e is the CS6 activation server still active?
Perhaps not for long unless Adobe kindly leave it running for those who bought PS etc. outright and wish to continue working that way? I get a lot of customer blowback about subscription models.
I hope this helps

I don't work for Adobe, Neil, so all I can do is to look at their official information each time this question is asked. 😊

For Photoshop CS6 the plugins/filters are usually installed in one of two places:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins
32 bit CS6 C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins
or
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6
32 bit CS6 C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS6
You can skip loading of optional and third party plugins by holding down the Shift key while starting
Photoshop CS6.
