Premiere Elements 2022 Freezes

[Don24093724uv1q]

When working on a project, playback freezes and when I restart it will play for 10-15 seconds or less and freeze again. The only way I can playback the whole project is to unplug my network connection. Premiere Elements is the only program that does this. This is not normal, does Adobe have a fix for this bug?

Try turning off the Adobe Updater in Startup.

Setting auto updater to manual appears to be the Fix!

Thanks

I have v2021 and do not have your problem, so I am wondering if v2022 has an 'aggressive' check for updates process that is going to the internet and then locking

[Don24093724uv1q]

You are correct. Outstanding!

I had the same issue and this worked for me too.

You just took away it's ability to reach the internet? That's it?
