Updates Have been disabled for this machine

Adobe Elements 2019.  When I try to run updates, i get "updates have been disabled for this machine. Please contact your administrator"

Windows 10, the adobe update service is running. I get a prompt saying there is an update available when I launch elements Organizer, but when I click install, i get that message.  I've looked in registry and cant figure out where this block is coming from?

Correct answer MAC_2979

MAC_2979,

 

What version of photoshop elements and operating system are you using?


I have 2019.

 

Just before you posted this I got an email tyo try the below and it worked.  I was deleting that file from a different location!

 

Look in this location and see if you have a AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat

C:\Program files(x86)\common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0

I'm on macos 15.3.2 (24D81), with Photoshop 2023 installed. Today, when launching the app, Photoshop advised it's out of date and should be updated; I followed the procedure which took me to Safari and then nothing happened. I then run the Updates in Photoshop directly, to see that "Updates have been disabled for the machine" - found this thread, but in my Library/Application Support/Adobe, there are no updater folders; running a search for "AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat" finds no files. Help?

Pipes Spree,

 

If in Photoshop 2023 you go to Help>System Info, what Adobe Photoshop Version does it say?

 

Try using the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop Application in

Applications/Adobe Creative Cloud

to see if you can install any updates.

There is no need to delete this file

C:\Program files(x86)\common files\adobe\AAMUpdaterInventory\1.0\AdobeUpdaterAdminPrefs.dat

Just open it in a text editor and change the line:

<Suppressed>1</Suppressed>

To

<Suppressed>0</Suppressed>

and save it. This will allow all your installed Adobe applications to update successfully.

I don't seem to have the AdminPrefs. Only have AdobeUpdaterPrefs. This is a personal machine (no other admin than me). Running Mac OS 13.0.1 (Ventura). Not only is the popup message annoying, but now I'm realizing that my Photoshop Elements, and probably Acrobat Reader, are not being updated. What can I do?

Jillian5EC2,

 

What operating system and version of photoshop elements do you have?

Participant
February 6, 2021

I have Windows 10.  I have Creative Cloud.  Photoshop 22.01 and Lightroom Classic 9.1 are the ones that I use most and can't update.  I have a new camera and can't upload photos without using a DNG converter.

Look for the

AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat

in either

User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdater/1.0

or

Hard Drive/Library/Application Support/Adobe/AAMUpdaterinventory/1.0

I do. I deleted that file, opened up adobe, and the "Adobe Photoshop  Elements 2019 Updater" program launched and is downloading files (looks very similar to the creative cloud interface).

Thanks so much for your help!

I tried that but receive the same error. The program generating the dialog box is Adobe update helper.
