Photoshop freezes on startup

[аннак34650703]

Photoshop CC 2017.1.1 for some reason began to freeze on startup (Adding estensions...MMXCore routines). It can take a minute while program "does not respond". It loads then anyway but works painfully slow. MacOS Sierra 10.12.6

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?

Run Disk Utility to repair permissions on your Mac. Then: Hold down the option key when starting the application to revert prefs to default.  This usually corrects the issue.

Unfortunately, MacOS Sierra's Disk Utility doesn't have an option to Repair permissions. Holding Option key while starting PS is of no help.. I've tried to increase Cache levels to 8, decrease History states to 40, set Memory usage to 95%. Nothing helps..

The First Aid button repairs permissions.

Resetting the Preferences didn't help

Try cmd-alt-shift.

Uninstall using the uninstaller and reinstall from CC

[аннак34650703]

Sounds weird but even reinstalling was of no help at all!!! I suppose this started after updating Mac OS to latest version couple days ago.. So probably we need to wait Adobe to make a minor update.

[Bob_Hallam]

I am running the latest Mac OS with PS working perfectly, so I don't believe we have gotten to the problem. 

Try uninstalling again and then using the CC Cleaner tool at the link below.

Then reinstall.

CC Cleaner tool finds no Photoshop app after the usual uninstalling. Except other Adobe applications installed on my mac (Premiere, inDesign etc) CC Cleaner shows these two - Fix Host File and Adobe Id credentials. Do you think the complete uninstalling of CC applications including this Fix Host File could help?

[Bob_Hallam]

Yes a complete uninstall would not hurt. 

[аннак34650703]

Installing previous version of PS CC was of no help either. Is there a way to install previous version of ACR?

I can't wait until "we fix this"... Please.

Complete uninstalling, cleaning of all adobe apps and then reinstalling solved my issue.
