Can't sign into Creative Cloud Desktop App

I'm at my wits end. I need to update Adobe Animate so I can use the Lip Sync feature, but it seems this is only doable through the Creative Cloud desktop app, and it never prompts me for my password. I enter my account email, the little green checkmark comes up, and then nothing happens. It freezes. 

 

<edited to remove personal info-kglad>

 

 

Please help. I can log into my account on a web browser fine, but can't update Animate

 

 

 

 

through it. I cannot uninstall the creative cloud app, because my computer says other applications need it to function.

sign out, restart your computer and then back in to your cc desktop application using the same adobe id used to verify your subscription: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

 

if that fails,

 

reset the cc desktop app: make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R
