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?

Thank you - Yes deleting the  AdobeUpdaterPrefs.dat solved it for me too!

I am having this same problem, but don't know where/how to find the file to delete?

Jillian5EC2,

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

[Jillian5EC2]

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.
