Hello. I  had the creative cloud app and several applications(Photoshop, illustrator,premiere) installed on my pc. I went back to a restore point from about a week ago. When I attempt to reinstall creative cloud, it looks as though its working but does not download to my pc. It just says file moved or missing.

first, reset the cc app:

Mac: Cmd + Opt + R
