Question

Progress bar keeps appearing

Hi all, I have this issue where if I switch to a different application and then back to Ps, I get an empty progress bar. It's not doing anything, I don't even need to be doing a process for it to appear. To clear it, all I need to do is click anywhere outside of the progress window. Is there a way to stop this happening? I haven't tried anything just yet, except the standard machine off and on. 

 

My Ps version is 21.2.0

My system is on Mohave 10.14.6

 

Thanks in advance

I have the same problem, on a PC running Windows 10 with version 26.4.1 (latest as of writing). Very frustrating, Adobe 😞

Hi!

Annoying isn’t it! I think though that if you update your OS to at least Big Sur you will find it’s all fixed!

No. None of the updates fixes this problem - or states as much.

I am now on Big Sur (11.4) Photoshop 23.1.1, Lightroom 11.1, and ACR 14.1

Problem still exists in the previous PS update 23.1.0 when opening a RAW file from Lightroom to Photoshop. I doubt this latest update will make any difference.

Not sure why you're convinced Big Sur will fix the problem since this issue has been going on for years.

I get a useless progress bar for a few different items, and it just stays on screen despite Photoshop completing the process. It's sitting on my desktop right now. Very annoying. There are so many other 'bugs' I send reports on that have stuck around for the past few updates. I see people complaining about it, but no 'fix' has come down the pike at all.

Is there any solution yet? I have the same issue.

I have a similar problem, but PS must be shutdown to remove it.
