CREATIVE CLOUD WILL NOT START AT LOGIN!!

What is the registry entry or startup folder shortcut or whatever is ACTUALLY required to start Creative Cloud at logon??!!

 

My setting for Creative Cloud is most definitely "Launch Creative Cloud at login" and it JUST STOPPED WORKING!

 

I have tried EVERYTHING (uninstalling, reinstalling, jumping up and down on one foot) and many OTHER ideas but all FAILED because NONE actually indicate exactly WHAT and WHERE the command should be to reliably start this program at EVERY LOGIN!!

 

Obviously, Adobe cannot accomplish this tiny feat so is there ANYONE out there who knows where the command or registry entry needs to be added??!!

 

Can we PLEASE just have THAT instead of all the other things that apparently DON'T WORK??!!

Actually, what I was looking for (only because I use Windows) was the registry entry. I checked a friend's computer and found what I was looking for.

 

Save the following to "startacc.reg" registry file in your Documents, then right-click on this file and click Merge. As long as you have the appropriate permissions, this will fix the problem!

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"Adobe Creative Cloud"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Adobe\\Adobe Creative Cloud\\ACC\\Creative Cloud.exe\" --showwindow=false --onOSstartup=true"

 

Sorry, this will not help Mac users. I really don't understand why the program is apparently unable to reapply this when it is reinstalled! Oh, well!

with windows, you can just add it to your startup folder.  ie, google your os and how to locate your startup folder.
