Error 190 on updating Creative Cloud Desktop

Update: Yesterday, following a Photoshop update, Creative Cloud Desktop also received an update containing the fix we had been waiting for months. In fact, at the bottom of the Photoshop update notes, there was a brief mention of the Creative Cloud Desktop update.

In my case, I had to restart my PC in order to relaunch the updated version of Creative Cloud Desktop, which is now finally working correctly.

Any news on this after all???

Why is that all other software in the suite updates no problem, BUT Creative Cloud? We have done everything on our side, now it's your turn.

Well, is there a fix or are we screwed.

I have the same problem for some days. Windows10 22H2 and Creative Cloud Desktop App 6.10.0.252.41 . Error Code 190  Creative Cloud Update Failed. Uninstalled the latest Windows 10 Update KB5126256- problem reamins. Uninstalled the Bridge V 16.0.7 ( not compatible) - problem remains. Re-installed an older version of Bridge V 16.0.3 - problem remains.

Thanks for taking the time to document the issue so thoroughly, ​@Dar7.

I understand how frustrating it is when a Creative Cloud Desktop update suddenly stops working, especially when your system is running a supported version of Windows and everything was previously working as expected.

Based on what you've shared and additional reports we've seen from other individuals, this does not appear to be a Windows 10 22H2 support issue.

We've received multiple reports of Error 190 occurring after Creative Cloud Desktop attempts to update.

One workaround that has helped some individuals is to repair or completely remove the Creative Cloud desktop application using Adobe's Creative Cloud Uninstaller tool and then install a fresh copy of the application.

Step 1: Repair or uninstall Creative Cloud Desktop

A few individuals have reported that performing a repair or clean reinstall of Creative Cloud Desktop allowed the application to install and run successfully again on Windows 10 22H2.

Please let us know whether that resolves the Error 190 update issue on your system, ​@Dar7. Your feedback will help us better understand the scope of the problem and identify any patterns across affected configurations.

Same problem here. I’m also running Windows 10 Pro 22H and get that Error 190 when I try to update Creative Cloud.

And the latest Photoshop Version 27.10 and Photoshop (Beta) Version 27.12 also have issues with a.o. the Spot Healing Brush Tool and Brush Tool.

Whenever I use any of them I immediately get some crazy lines on the image I’m working on. Not too long ago the same problem was fixed already and now it’s back.     

There are thousands of users with the same issue and mine has been like this for several months. Why does it take forever for them to fix it?

Having same issue. Started very recently. Creative Cloud Desktop (not any of the apps) fails to update w/ code 190. Tried the “repair” option prompted by attempted uninstall, didn’t help. Next thing I’ll try is adobe’s cleaner app. Loath to uninstall every app though (CC won’t uninstall without it).

Windows 10 Pro v.10.0.19045

Adobe Creative Cloud v.6.10.0.252.41

Also facing this issue with Windows 10 Pro 22H2. and I can also verify this started happening after the KB5126256 update. Updated 5 days ago and now no longer able to update. Will try to see if i can roll back and fix the issue
