I couldn’t take a picture of course, but I wanted to when my Photoshop Exam hung on the loading …. screen for several minutes and then timed out and exited me from the application. This happened 3 times and then the proctor told me to exit the OnVue software and start it back up again with the same access code. I did that and after 2 more times of failing to load, the proctor told me to reschedule my exam. I rescheduled for 2 days from now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I renamed my USB Storage Devices, so I could pass the software and hardware test. Now I have no idea what is stopping it from loading. One theory is the crazy pop ups that are on windows systems. I googled how to permanently disable Windows 11 pop-ups and read the following from https:\/\/answers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/forum\/all\/how-do-i-permanently-disable-the-annoying-pop-ups\/27d34a90-05a8-408e-a230-07bf60b9c6c9<\/a>

The only other thing I could try is plugging directly into my router. Luckily I have a phone jack right next to my computer. So I will let you know in a later post if I pass my exam or have to drive to a testing center. I found a testing center nearby at the Hickory Center of App State. The problem is, it’s not listed in Adobe’s list of Certiport testing centers. <facepalm> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
