Connection with Adobe servers suddenly became unpossible

Hello,

I have valide creatuve cloud photography subscription, and for a few weeks it has been suddenly unpossible to connect to any application from my laptop (Windows 7), from which it was working fine before. I didn't work offline either. On my desktop, it works fine.

On my laptop, it happens with dsl connection using wifi (or not) when i'm at my parents. At home, i have optic fiber 400 Mb and i have the same problem.

I tried to call customer service who sent me a pack of tools to run on my laptop and closed my ticket, and i found no anomaly... Disconnecting antivirus, firewall, etc didn't help...

Now, i tried to uninstall all CC apps and maybe do a clean reinstall, and it doesn't let me uninstall because it finds no connection to Adobe servers. Well, i could drop them in the trash bin but i guess it won't properly do it.

I need to use Adobe Lightroom when i'm at my parents or out of home. I'm kinda despaired to find a solution. If an employee could look what's wrong in my computer, it would be great because self diagnose stuff, i did, and it did nothing.

And also, i tried the Windows 7 date and time stuff, the error message says to do. Wrong time, good time, automatic time..., nothing worked.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Best regards,

Olivier

Your Windows 7 device needs to be updated to support TLS 1.2 connections.  TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1 connections are end of life.  You can't connect to Adobe's servers until you resolve this problem.

Best advice, use a modern OS that supports Creative Cloud apps.

This is a public user-to-user community, not Adobe tech support.

Beware of fake Adobe reps who may contact you privately offering to sell you software or take control of your computer. It's a scam, run away! Real Adobe employees will never reach out via Outlook, Yahoo, Gmail or Skype.
