Question

Adobe XD won't open on Windows 10

XD (version 19.2.22) will no longer open on my Windows 10 PC. When I click Open I get a white window that says Adobe XD in the upper left corner for about 30 seconds and then the window closes. I tried installing version 19.1.22 and that didn't work either. I have upgraded back to 19.2.22 and it is still not working.

I had to quickly code the pages by hand in Dreamweaver while XD is down. Please help. I need to finish working on some files for a deadline.

Recently this has been happening a lot for me with XD.  If I turn wifi off it opens with out any issues. Then just turn wifi back on and carry on like normal. Hope this helps you guys.

In my case, I installed Photoshop and XD on Windows 10, Photoshop works but XD doesn't, when I open it it opens but after a while it automatically closes without prompting me any error, what I tried is to log out from the Adobe Creative Cloud account and then login again.

The same thing is happening to me. I just completely reinstalled my operating system after spending about 3 hours with Adobe Support trying to fix the issue, and it's still not working. I have figured out that if I don't have the creative cloud app open, it seems to work. But if the creative cloud app is open and I launch XD, I get the white screen, and then I can't access my start menu or cortana search unless I kill all of the creative cloud processes. I think this is some kind of weird issue with the creative cloud app and conflicts with XD.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear that you're facing trouble using Adobe XD. The issue with white screen crash in XD seems to be fixed in the latest version of XD. Could you please share the OS and XD version of your machine?

 

Thanks,

Harshika

Hello, I am using the same issue. I have Windows 10 Pro (64 bit), and Adobe XD 22.7.12, previously tried XD 20.0.12 as well. Both are giving issues. I have done it all, from checking registry keys, to uninstall, restart reinstall, uninstall driver disable, restart reinstall, nothing seems to work.

This is what I did and it worked for me.

Right click on adobe XD on the start menu-> settings -> Repair/Reset/Terminate (dint work) -> Uninstalled -> Restarted PC -> Installed from CC. Worked

I have to do this on an almost monthly basis. I don't have admin rights, so I can't perform some of the other tasks mentioned above. XD will work fine one day, and the next, a white screen and crash.

Struggling with the same issue at the moment, troubleshooting from the post above didn't change anything unfortunately. Worked just fine as of yesterday.

Also see this help article.

Adobe XD launches into a white screen on Windows

I'll talk to the IT administrative team and see if this article will help.

I do not see the option to Run as Administrator when I right-click. I don't have Administrator privileges on my PC at my job.
