This has been a issue for couple weeks.  I tried calling support but there is no direct support for CC it would seem.  I see error code 505 for Creative Cloud update.  The link for the error code takes me to an information page with something about uninstalling Beyondtrust Powerbroker?  I have no such software installed, no such instance in my services.

I've tried...

Closing CC Desktop and restarting as Adniminstrator - same error code.

Shut off Anti-virus and VPN, closing CC then restarting as administrator - same error code.

Ensure all updates are installed, all of the above again - same error code.

I have work do so.  Please assist.

Correct answer pgh9ngjy3gda

In the Window Services (search services from the start menu), find "Secondary Logon".

 

Change from "Disabled" to "Automatic". Click "Apply". Then click "Start".

 

It should update now.

Do you logged in as an Administrator or as an user with Admin rights during the installations of the updates?

Please check if you have enabled the Secondary Logon Windows service. Once the package is installed, you can disable it again.

 

I would recommend a clean reinstallation by doing the following steps:

 

It's sound drastic and time-consuming, but I my experience it helps to solve several problems.

I uninstalled everything, ran the uninstaller, etc. and I still have the same issue, I do not have trustbroker installed, I have turned off firewalls. Now I can't reinstall the apps the apps either so I don't even have the older versions to work on! This is messed up, I need a fix- I pay good money for this subscription
