I updated the server so it won’t force the update. So if you are stuck on an older release then it will allow you to run with the magenta upgrade notice.

Resttart Photoshop and then an older release will run if you have it installed.

However, you still really need to figure this out.

I will have to force the updates eventually. There are some nasty bugs affecting Mac that I am having to implement workarounds for,  When I don’t force updates, I’ve found that more then 2/3 of people will never update until they are force and then I end up having to answer for bugs that I have already fixed.

So I can let the system run without forcing the updates for now.

There is for sure something wrong with Creative Cloud on your computer.  If yo can at least just get Adobe to uninstall all of the Pixnub plugins then you could always just use the manual installers at that point. Those will never show up in Creative Cloud. So once you get everything uninstalled in creative cloud, you can always just use the manual install method instead of the CCX files to update and it would never be a problem anymore.  That is what I recommend because it seems like once you install a CCX it gets stuck.
