On Friday (11/13) all of a sudden I started having issues with my active window blinking, not being able to stay in it, select things, type accurately, etc., no matter which program I was using. A few days of digging tonight I discovered Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app was the culprit. When tasks are ended, no more issues.
In task manager, it shows repeated random spikes in wifi usage, which I think it part of whats causing my active windows to blink in and out of use, even though adobe is only running in the background.
Before I uninstalled, I would click to open the desktop app and nothing would open, but all the processes would start and cause the blinking again.
Tried uninstalling and reinstalling, now a program window starts to open, but it's just a blank white window, and all the same issues pop up again.
I saw another thread that suggested deleting everything OOBE folder in appdata/local/adobe, then restarting the computer, but no luck, all the same issues with the blank window and flashing.
I know my computer is older, I'm running windows 8.1. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
