Sorry to hear about your difficulties. Can you provide more details around the issue such as:

  • What operating system are you using? (Catalina 10.15, Mojave 10.14, Win 10, etc.)
  • Does the slash screen appear?
  • What model of computer is the issue occurring on? (2017 iMac, MS Surface Pro 4,etc.)
  • Do the 2019 products launch on the system?
  • What troubleshooting have you tried already? (I know some have provided this already)


For initial troubleshooting I'd suggest trying these:

  • Recreate the preferences for the application

Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) when launching the Adobe product.
You should be prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you launch.

Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color settings will also be reset to default.

  • Create a new user account with admin rights, attempt launching the products in from the newly created user account

Win - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4026923/windows-10-create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account
Mac - http://osxdaily.com/2017/07/17/how-create-new-admin-account-mac/

I'd start there. Please get back with more info.

Thanks,

- Dave

macOS Mojave Version 10.14.6

iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017)

Processor 4.2 Ghz Intel Core i7

Memory 64 GB 2400 MHz DDR4

Graphocs Radeon Pro 580 8 GB

 

 

I installed but cannot open Premier Pro 2020, AE 2020, CA 2020, Encoder 2020.  They all open the splash screen and start to load items then stop running.  All the version from 2019 still work.

 

I tried many different approaches including uninstalled all of them, clearing the OOBE folder, reinstalling just one of them, renooting between many of the steps above.

 

Thanks - bj

I have been having the same problem for two days.   I've tried the uninstall/reinstall,  uninstall/remove creatve cloud/reboot/ reinstall creative cloud/reinstall apps  but PP, AE Media Encode and CA still will not load.  Fisrt time I try they display the splashscreen, show items loading and then die.  Works on my Macbook Pro but not my iMac.   2019 versions all work.
