Windows 10 / unable to update Photoshop 26.0 / AVX 2 error

Adobe loves a good joke:

If you want to see it that way, that's yours. But you won't change anything.
I respect your opinion, but I don't accept it.

That is part of the fear campaign that corporations use to pressure you to consume things you don't need, ...

If you think this is all scaremongering, that's your business.

But my experience is completely different. There are a lot of criminals on the Internet who look for every possible vulnerability in systems, find it and then exploit it.

I worked for years as a system administrator in a global company. Years ago we were attacked and hacked because colleagues in a branch were sloppy when it came to installing security updates.

And if there is no longer any support for old, incompatible hardware, then it just has to be replaced. It is not economical for companies and sometimes it isn't even technically feasible to support even the oldest hardware.

Not entire true. You can run Win 11

By @DexterGordon

But that's only half the truth.
Full Windows 11 support is only available with current hardware.
It's also questionable how long the security updates will be able to be installed. Microsoft will certainly put a stop to it at some point. Connecting to the Internet with an unpatched system is highly risky.

This is apparently a new system requirement with version 26. Several people have reported getting this message.

My guess is that this applies to CPUs older than, say, 2016 or so - that's about  the same support horizon they advise for GPUs.

Looks like you'll need to stay on v 25 until you can get newer hardware.

Unless you buy a new computer or replace the processor, you cannot use the latest versions of Adobe apps. You also won't be able to use Windows 11 when Win 10 support ends in a year.

Hello Klaus, The same thing happens to me
