Recurring Error 205

Every other time I open Photoshop on my desktop I am greeted with Error 205 and forced to close.

 

I know how to fix the error at least for the current session by using command prompt to clear the Credential Manager storage for all the Adobe apps. It's gotten to the point though where I have had to save the fix on a notepad on my desktop because it happens nearly every time I open an an Adobe application (especially Photoshop it seems).

 

I'm not asking how to fix it for this current session but how to fix this full stop, or if not then to at least bring it to the attention of someone at Adobe. This is ridiculous that I should have to run commands through command prompt every time I want to open one of their applications.

@ruant81085750 check your network/Windows Defender. Usual suspects are an overzealous anti-virus policy (try turning it off) or Win Defender blocking connections (again try with it off). If possible try another network altogether.

Hi, thanks for your reply. As stated in the original post however I am aware of the fixes listed in the link you posted. Having to reuse them almost daily is the issue I am facing and am asking for a permanent fix rather than a temporary one. 

I have also tried reinstalling all apps and the problem persists. It seems like this issue should be getting fixed by Adobe rather than their customers having to go through fixes repeatedly in order to make use of their services.

Hi, we're sorry about the trouble! If you've tried all the steps suggested here: https://adobe.ly/46JtPMh

If yes and the issue persists, try using the Creative Cloud cleaner tool to remove the apps completely and then re-install them to check if that makes a difference. 

 

Thanks!
