Question

AdobeIPCBroker.exe AND cannot uninstall lightroom classic

I randomly started getting this error message titled "AdobeIPCBroker.exe - System Error" the test says "The code execution cannot proceed because CRClient.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem."

 

Ok. Searching around says this is lightroom classic. I try to uninstall lightroom classic and I get:

 

"Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox\Uninstall.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."

What am I supposed to do here? The first error message (AdobeIPCBroker.exe) will not go away and prioritizes above all other windows. Infuriating.

Hi all, I was able to solve my problem by running the "TQ Cache Cleaner" that I had in this folder:

My CC constantly "repairs" and the most recent crash resulted in the same problem.  In the process of "repairing" it removed all the files in the CC folder including the TQCacheCleaner.exe file.  I'm trying to remove everything and reinstall but the endlessly increasing numbers of adobeIPCBroker.exe processes are overwhelming my compluter

    I'm also having this same issue - it has made Adobe InDesign totally unusable, and I can't access CC (the app keeps crashing). Following this thread closely...

    Also RIP my task manager

    In the end I had to call Adobe technical support and reluctantly let him, Surya, take over my PC and eventually - nearly one hour later - he was able to solve the problem. Basically, it seems that there was some Adobe element that was keeping active in the background. Happy to be back on track, but still concerned that I have no idea why it happened. My hunch is possibly it was some legacy from  my Windows7 upgrade a couple of months ago.

      I am having exactly the same issue. Tried uninstalling CC and all the apps using creative_cloud_uninstallerwin but that didn't complete successfully. Tried to re-install anyway and that never get past 26". The message is headed Adobelpcbroker.exe - System Error. No threats identified by malwarebytes. Never get any reply from Adobe. Feeling pretty pissed off.

      Also having exactly the same problem.

       

      AdobeIPCBroker.exe - System Error

       

      It's also creating endless "Adobe IPC Broker (32 bit)"  tasks. As soon as I kill 1, another is created.

      Having the same problem. Just started today 03-30-20.  No matter what I do... it pop's up over and over.  It's really quite maddening and zero help from Adobe.  Maybe if we all cancel our subscription it would get their attention.
