I Fixed Halide Bottleneck Issue! YAY!!!

I filled up my scratch disk and afterward upon launch, CC 2021 stalled on the Halide Bottleneck. So I followed the directions for resetting my scratch disk and BINGO...the Halide Bottleneck opened up!!! I had the Halide Bottleneck issue before, when my computer wouldn't shutdown or restart without physically turning off the computer, and it cleared up once I solved the that problem. The solutions Adobe provides on the help page for the Halide Bottleneck issue didn't work (I couldn't find the files Adobe said were the problem).

So try the following solution from Adobe for relaunching a new scratch disk and see if it works for your Halide Bottleneck stall.

From Adobe's Help:

"If Photoshop cannot launch because the scratch disk is full, hold down the Cmd + Option keys (macOS) or Ctrl + Alt keys (Windows) during launch to set a new scratch disk."
