CC Desktop allegedly running in Compatibility Mode

Hi,

When I launch Adobe CC desktop, a message is systematically displayed, saying this :

However, this is not true. I'm not running this app in compatibility mode. Just, it is run "as an administrator" because otherwise, it doesn't work (I have the same problem with Photoshop by the way, like many other users). This is new and annoying. Please fix.

Axel,

When the usual recommendation made when problems appear in a software is "please reinstall everything", this is a clear indication that this software is too buggy and that nobody is able to fix these problems. I'd like to spend time using the Adobe software, not reinstalling it each time something is updated or changed.

Regarding the error 16 configuration error page, I already checked all this many times. Doesn't help. There's probably a permission problem but not one that is listed there. I already asked many times more accurate information about all the permissions that are needed to run PS but I never got any answer.

Not that unusual. As far as I can remember, I always had to run Photoshop and CC Desktop as an administrator. Otherwise the CC Desktop process is loaded but no window is opening and with Photoshop, I get the well-known error 16, a problem that is hitting many users when not launching PS as an administrator. I'm using an administrator account.

MfG.
