Adobe applications are not listed in the Adobe Creative Cloud (CC) desktop app

Question

Adobe applications are not listed in the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app (except Acrobat DC).

Searched for a solution all over the interweb. Nothing works (changing language, sing out/in, turning off compatibility mode, deleting CC prefs, restart, etc). Apps are not listed in CC, therefore I can't uninstall or update them with CC. Only one listed app is Acrobat DC (not Ai, PS, Id, LrC, Pr, Ae, Br, Me).

CC treats apps as not installed. So after installing Ae (22.1.1), I have two Ae in the Win10 app list (22.0.1 and 22.1.1).

Win10 program remove uninstallation doesn't remove it from the Win10 program list. I had to use a 3rd party uninstaller (IObit Uninstaller) to fully remove it.

Invisible apps are linked with CC. They don't work if I'm signed out of CC. During uninstallation (started from Win10 app list) app shortly shows up in CC during uninstallation.

Reinstalled apps initially were visible in CC, but after some 20 minutes disappeared.
