Myriad of Issues after update.

[Vispinian]

Just curious if anyone else has had issues where the "Export & Share" just coninues on for non-stop, as time increases.And the preview during edit crashes/freezes, forcing you to "Task Manager" close the program.

None of my stated issues had arisen until "Adobe Creative Cloud" was forced upon me and now my system wont allow me to uninstall this.And I should not have to download another file just to uninstall. Computers are already loaded with so much bloat ware in the beginning, it's ridiculous.

>until "Adobe Creative Cloud" was forced upon me

I also have PrElements 2021 and nothing about the cloud was forced on me... have you done a trial of any cloud program?

I did have a different share problem, which was caused by an incompatible nvidia driver

I don't understand how the cloud could be forced on you, but here is how to remove it

Also, if you did a trial of any cloud program you need to cancel that trial so your credit card isn't charged

To Cancel https://helpx.adobe.com/manage-account/using/cancel-creative-cloud-subscription.html
-or Chat link https://helpx.adobe.com/contact/support.html

-click the chat icon at the bottom right of the page to open a chat session

One needs a Creative Cloud account to sign in and activate your softeware.

>One needs a Creative Cloud account to sign in and activate your softeware

So are you saying that just having an account somehow installs the cloud?

I installed PrE 2021 and it did not install anything from the cloud

[HOTELECHOMIKE]

Me neither...  I had PE14 on my old PC (which somehow subsequently "acquired" the  creative cloud).

On the new PC I installed PE 2021 & PE14, entered the serial numbers for each one & am (thankfully) cloud free.

I have turned automatic updates OFF in preferences, so I wonder if that is why nothing cloud has been added?
