Lock up at Welcome Screen

since the other thread (How to disable the welcome screen?) has been "Answered" starting a new one:
after launching PS gets stuck at the welcome screen. i can't scroll down to tell it not to show.. BECAUSE IT's FROZEN. there's not content in it and i can't quit PS unless i go to task manager.
the only way i can get it to work is to disable network access, launch PS, close the welcome screen, and then re-enable network access.
i checked my firewall and host file, tried multiple dns servers, double checked iptables on my router, nothing works.
all other CC programs launch fine, including the welcome screens - which i was able to turn off.
the "Do Not Show..." should not be a part of the web content as, you see now, causes a problem when it won't load and no way to turn it off. at least make it an option in the prefs b/c i can hit ctrl+k before the welcome screen comes up to change some things.

In all the cases that we've seen where display of the Welcome screen truly locks up the computer, its been due to a corruption in the anti-virus software on that computer. Modern operating systems don't allow application processes to lock up the whole system. Its only OS level processes that can take down the whole system. The anti-virus software hooks into the OS level to intercept network communications and thus when it has problems, it can hang the whole system. We're not yet sure what it is about the Welcome screen that uncovers this problem. My suggestion to you is to try uninstalling and reinstalling your anti-virus software.
There are cases that we're tracking where the Welcome screen appears mostly blank, but the system is not locked up. In these cases, the window can be moved, the red button to close the Welcome screen works, and you can pick menu items to open a file from disk. This is a different problem and the computer is not locked up, not even Photoshop is locked up, only the Welcome screen is. We think we've narrowed this problem down to certain special characters in a name of a recent file that's causing the Welcome screen to fail. If you clear your list of recent files, then the Welcome screen works as intended. We're working on a fix for this issue right now.
Hope this helps.

Photoshop Elements 8 Welcome Screen trouble

I am having trouble with my welcome screen. It just keeps saying gathering information. How can I get the information back on my welcome screen. like how much storage I have available.

You could go directly to the web site for Photoshop.com, log in and check your storage limit.
Sometimes you get locked out of the program if you exceed the storage limit.

Beginning Welcome Screen

Hello,
have a simple question on the WELCOME SCREEN.
This is the screen when you push the top button on the phone and all you see is the time, date, if you have any notifications...and 1 calendar event..."Next Event"...my question is is there anyway to have MORE than 1 event listed on that page. This instead of going into the calendar specific section.
I have looked at all the settings and have found nothing to "customize" this welcome screen.
Hope I have explained this properly...any help would be great!
Thanks
TW

The screen you are reffering to is the locked screen. At this point, I didn't find any options to add additional notifications. But you can add two line custom messages. It is possible that 3rd party apps that change the theme of the z10 can utilize the features you are looking for. It would be a nice option to have, and I can see the benefits. Maybe future OS upgrade can give you that option.
To add a custome lines. On the home screen, swipe from top down, settings, display, and fillout Message dsplayed on locked screen.

Welcome screen needed

I bought a new iphone 5 from a third party. Usually, I get a welcome screen and I retrieve all my apps and songs through the steps. This one is already logged in. How do I go back to the welcome screen? I tried logging in on iCloud, didnt work.

The previous owner needs to deactivate FindMyPhone on the iPhone or remove it from FindMyPhone in their iCloud.com account.
If they don't the iPhone will be useless.
See this -> Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account

Windows Welcome Screen Keyboard Layout

Hello, I'm a Dvorak typist and I have changed my Windows settings to use that layout, but I cannot find (or there doesn't exist) an option to change the initial Welcome screen keyboard layout. When locking my session or returning from screen saver
mode, the layout is correct, but if I've logged out or restarted, the welcome screen reverts to Qwerty. Is there an option to change this?

Hi,
I made a test in our testing environment, Windows 10 Technical Preview 9926 X64 English edition. After add the keyboard layout, such as Dvorak, we do need to restart the computer to let the setting come into effective.
Therefore, please restart your computer for test.

How to copy the International settings from current user to default user/welcome screen on Windows 8.1/ Server 2012R2 via PS script?

Hi,
I have to script the international settings in virtual machines which are Win Server 2012R2 or Win 8/8.1.
For the current user, it's quite easy.
new-WinUserLanguageList nl-BE
set-WinUserLanguageList nl-BE
Set-WinSystemLocale nl-BE
set-Culture nl-BE
But how can I copy these settings to the Default user/Welcome screen? I cannot find a solution for that. Even on the site of Microsoft,
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh852115.aspx all CMDlets are only for the current user.
Maybe I'm looking with the wrong keywords, but... With Powershell v4 it should be possible, isn't it?
Thanks for looking together and hopefully we can find an answer.
Kind reg,
Dirk

Questions like this would best be answered in the deployment forum.
The default lock screen tracks the current user. The system lock screen tracks the local system admin account.
There is a SYSTEM profile which, I believe, can be set via registry.

Disable welcome screen in itunes

Hello,
this issue may sound stupid but I cannot figure out to solve it.
I have installed iTunes (11.2.0.115) using several MSIs (not the EXE file but the content of it). Now when I start iTunes for the first time I get a "Welcome" screen message asking me to either 'share' my mediathek information or not. I do not want to have that screen. I just want to have it standardly not to share any information.
I tried to use Parental Controls flag (assuming that it might be
kParentlFlags_DisableFirstRunWelcomeWindow
0x01000000
16777216
added in iTunes 10.2
but this did not help (put it into "AdminFlags" under "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Apple Computer, Inc.\iTunes\Parental Controls Default". At least "AdminFlags" itself seems to work as I do not get any "UserFlags" in HCU as I "locked" AdminFlags).
Does anyone now how to automatically "answer" that question during the start (or better during the implementation) of the software?
I tried to find an answer here but using "disable welcome screen itunes" did not help.
Kind regards
János

Hi,
If you would like to disable the above dialog, you can set the following key either through Group policy or through the direct editor in the Customization Wizard:
HKLM\Software\Policies\Adobe\Acrobat Reader\2015\FeatureLockDown\
bUsageMeasurement
Reg_DWORD

I've an iPone4GS. I downloaded the latest upgrage onto it. IT HAS STUCKED ON THE WELCOME SCREEN. IT ASKS MY password belongs to My Apple ID

Hi,
I would very much appreciate some practical advice. I've an iPhone 4S for about 2 years now., I did the software upgrade as usual. Now after I downloaded the latest (8.0.2 I assume) onto my phone it stacked on the welcome screen. It lets me enter the password belongs to my Apple ID THEN IT TAKES ME BACK TO THE VERY BEGINNING TO THE WELCOME SCREEN. This is all what I can do on my phone. It's a nightmare. Please help. Thank you.

Did you try to remove it from the "Find my iPhone" list, so that the Activation lock is turned off and you can set it up again?

Photoshop/Premiere Elements 10 installed but won't run past Welcome screen

I bought and downloaded Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 for Windows 7 - 64 bit on Dec.31/11. There were no error messages in the download, although the Akamai downloader screen didn't seem to show 100% before proceeding to the next step. Everything appeared to install correctly (it's a long process!).
At first, clicking on the desktop icons or the Start Menu list would bring up the Welcome splash screen, where the broad options (Organize, Edit, New Project) were shown. However, clicking on these options had no effect at all. Eventually even the Welcome screen wouldn't appear. I checked the Windows task manager and no applications were running.
I checked the shortcut properties and noticed that there was a separate executable in the target directory (eg. existing link was to "Adobe Premiere Elements 10.exe", but there was also a file called "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe"), which did run...however, I couldn't launch the Organizer from that program, and the "Home" link to the Welcome screen didn't function either.
With thousands of these programs being downloaded, I'm surprised that this serious glitch hasn't surfaced before. Any ideas?
Thanks!

There are three different programs -- Photoshop Elements (PSE) which is for editing bitmaps, Premiere Elements which is for video editing, and the PSE Organizer which is for cataloging your media.
I don't like the sound of that Akamai downloader not registering 100%.
Uninstall all the Adobe products, reboot, and download the installation package again. Check the Properties on that downloaded file and "Unblock" it if Windows has flagged it as "possibley harmful and coming from another computer" before starting the installation.

Itunes 11 welcome screen every time I open the program.

Yeah,

very annoying
help?

This is what worked for me!!!!!
Close iTunes.
With Windows Explorer go to View in the top menu and allow Hidden Files.
Navigate to:
C:\Users\[which ever user is you]\Appdata\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete all files in this directory.
Start iTunes and see the Welcome Screen for hopefully the last time!
I am not an expert. This was a stab in the dark based on the Mac ByHosts solution and it just happened to work for me. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
Good Luck!

When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15", my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen. How do I fix this??

Hi Everyone,
This problem just started today. When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version), my screen is light gray like normal, and then after a few seconds my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds, and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen (where I choose to login as myself or a guest user). This suddenly started today and has not stopped since. This keeps happening every single time I turn on or restart my computer.
Yesterday I installed all the Mavericks and other updates that were available in the App Store, so I'm wondering if this is related to that since this never happened prior to my doing those updates yesterday. When I first installed the new OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) update, it went through the whole installation process (took about 10 minutes), and then during the installation I got an error message saying that it couldn't verify my iTunes application that was on my laptop, and then my laptop finished installing the updates. Then once my laptop restarted, the App Store "Updates" section said that I had to do the whole OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) and iTunes (Version 11.2) updates all over again. So my laptop did the whole installation again (took about 10 minutes, but this time I didn't get that "iTunes error message" during the installation process).
Now, when I go to the App Store "Updates" section, it says the following under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 days":
-Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update (Version 5.05) installed May 15, 2014
-OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
-iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
-OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
-iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
-Security Update 2014-002 (Version 1.0) installed April 22, 2014
I'm wondering if this flashing bright yellow screen upon bootup is related to the fact that my laptop installed the OS X Update and the iTunes Update two times each? Or is this new problem totally unrelated? It's just that this problem started a day after these 2 updates were installed twice.
My Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version) is otherwise working fine at least as of now. The only issue so far is this flashing bright yellow screen every time I turn on or restart my computer.
If anyone could please help me fix this so that my bootup screen doesn't flash completely bright yellow anymore, I would be forever grateful!
Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can provide.
hope everyone is well,
Elaine

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

How to delete file from DW welcome screen

Don't know much about CS3, but learning. Erased some files,
started over again, but noticed the name of the file/site is still
showing on the "welcome" screen when I open CS3. Can't find a way
to delete it. Any suggestions?
Thanks

i think you might just have to wait until you've
opened/created enough
files to move the old ones down and off the list.
or you could just click the "don't show again" box on the
Welcome
screen. it's not really necessary, because you can find all
of those
options in the menu at the top as well. that welcome screen
may seem
handy now, but you'll probably get sick of it eventually. i
know i did!
