So who do I send the bill to at Adobe for doing their job? No end user should have to do this to fix Adobe mistakes. Really going downhill fast and almost as fast as Windows 10... So sad because it was such a great product.

I had the same issue.  The CC Desktop tool would often vanish after a restart.  Just followed these steps and so far, all good.  Thank you, Bani!

Hello, I have the same issue that was reported.  I have attempted all of the above steps as an admin but am still having the issue.  Is there more troubleshooting steps I can take to resolve this?
