Recently, my Windows 11 PC began to choke when shutting down. A small error window would appear, holding up the process. The cause? A program called LogTransport2.exe . If you have the same problem and are also wondering what’s going on—it’s Adobe’s fault. Adobe bundles this file with its Creative Cloud applications for the purpose of transmitting data about you back to the company. If the executable is still communicating with Adobe servers when you shut down your PC, it’ll stall the process to finish its task. So, to nip this issue in the bud, you have to tell Adobe to stop spying on you. The fix Open a web browser. Head to adobe.com , then log into your account. Click on your avatar icon at the upper right. Choose Manage account . At the top of the screen, choose Account and Security , then Data and privacy settings . Uncheck the boxes for sharing. PCWorld If you don’t see any boxes for sharing at first, you may need to switch your profile. Click your avatar icon in the upper right. In the menu that appears, look under the Account section for a Switch profile option. When I first logged in, I was signed into the profile associated with the organization I have my subscription through—and so only saw a message that said, “ You have been automatically opted out from content analysis for product improvement when using Creative Cloud and Document Cloud apps. This setting does not apply when you separately choose to participate in product improvement programs. ” Switching to my personal profile revealed the settings I needed. PCWorld Why this change solves the issue Stopping the telemetry data quiets LogTransport2.exe’s activity. When it stays idle, your PC can shut down without interruption. Adobe could do much, much more to help with the problem, though. Data sharing should be opt in, rather than opt out. Given the cost of a Creative Cloud subscription, I think few people expect their desktop app usage to be spied on. When paying for a service, I don’t expect to still be the product. Nor my content stored on their servers either. At the very least, the Creative Cloud app should give periodic reminders that the setting is turned on. And allowing changes to data sharing within the Creative Cloud app, rather than only through the Adobe website. My colleague Mike Crider switched off Photoshop (after years of loyalty) to a far more affordable and less invasive web app ( Photopea ). He seems to have the right of it. These days, privacy is security. Anyone monitoring us without our knowledge is a risk.

In case of emergency, you will now be able to designate certain trusted people who can gain access to your Proton account. According to yesterday’s announcement post , Proton’s new Emergency Access feature supports up to five trusted contacts… with some caveats. Proton For one, you can only designate people who have Proton accounts of their own, as they’ll need to use their Proton account to access yours. With access granted, a trusted contact can then log into your Proton account whenever you’re unavailable or incapacitated, whether due to travel, illness, or (in the worst case) death. Emergency Access will send you a notification whenever a trusted contact tries to access your account, and if you don’t explicitly respond with a denial, access will be granted. You can choose whether contacts can gain access immediately or whether they need to wait a certain number of days, weeks, or months before access is granted. Proton The other big catch is that Emergency Access is only available to paying Proton customers. Any paid plan qualifies for this feature, so if you want it, go ahead and upgrade your Proton Pass , Mail , VPN , or Drive plans. Alternatively, check out Proton Unlimited for full premium features across all Proton apps and services for just $9.99/month.

Throughout the month of August, Microsoft has rolled out a number of new features in the popular collaboration tool Teams. Microsoft Among other things, it’s now possible to find messages with attached files via a simple search, which should be useful for users who don’t want to waste precious time scrolling back through long threads. Microsoft Microsoft has also made it possible to customize your own keyboard shortcuts for various actions, which should come in handy whether you just want to replicate the shortcuts from other apps (like Slack or Zoom) or you prefer to come up with your own. Microsoft Another fun addition is that it’s now possible to react to a particular message multiple times with different emojis, something that’s long been possible in apps like Slack. For example, if you want to show that you understand an instruction but also want to acknowledge the humor in it, you can react with both a “thumbs up” and a “laughing face.” Some other useful features worth noting: you can now save messages to a “Saved” quick view, you can now edit your display name in a Teams meeting, and several other premium-only features for business-oriented use cases (such as personal meeting templates and immersive 3D environments for large-scale virtual gatherings). For a full rundown of all the new changes that came about in August, check out the official Microsoft Teams blog post .
