Creative Cloud and Photoshop disappeared from my laptop and now Windows can't find them
I’m a long-time Adobe user. I bought a new laptop and installed Creative Cloud, Acrobat, and Photoshop. All three ran fine for several weeks, then a few days ago I couldn’t open Creative Cloud or Photoshop (Acrobat is OK). Even when I click directly on the .exe files for either product, I get a message saying Windows can’t find the app. I shut down any running Adobe products in the Task Manager, then I used the Adobe uninstaller and removed both products. Then I reinstalled them. No difference. I run them as Administrator. No difference. I re-ran the uninstaller again and reinstalled both apps. Windows still says it can find them. Acrobat continues to run as usual. Here is the message I see when I try to open Creative Cloud even when I click directly on the file it says it can’t find.
