Frequent Sign-In Required - How is this still an issue?

We all know Adobe products tend to have weird quirks and unintuitive behaviors that don't get any attention for years, however this must be the single most frustrating issue I have encountered to date. I get signed out of the Adobe CC App on Windows 10 what feels like every 10 minutes, and due to Typekit not properly re-syncing some of my fonts, I frequently even have to restart my CC applications to get back to work. This is incredibly frustrating and totally kills my flow when I'm designing something.

I don't want any of the links to help articles and other threads that get frequently passed around here, I tried all of this before. My question simply is: How is this still an issue? It can't be too hard to allocate a week of a Devs time to properly look into this issue and fix it once and for all, instead of having QA writing articles for band-aid fixes that might only help a fraction of the affected population, under certain conditions. In 2018 I'm used to being automatically logged into several background services on startup of my PC, and Adobe CC is the ONLY one that shows persisting issues like this. It's really not that hard to build proper authentication into a Desktop application - it has been done before. If an engineer tells you it can't be done, consider reevaluation your overall software design and HR decisions. Thanks /rant.

Hi, maybe a necropost here but in 2023 this is still happening. Every couple of days - or sometimes every day - I have to sign in, again, to Adobe CC before I can run any apps. Very annoying and its not like I've installed one license onto 5 computers or whatever.

this is a local (not adobe issue). ie, something on your computer (eg, av, antimalware, cleaner, defragger etc) is corrupting your OOBE stored credentials.

My answer is: there is such a diversity of systems out there.... As this problem starts to pop-up quite frequently, why not asking Microsoft, what changes they recently did.

I have myself access to a diverse parc of machines and I have different problems on each of my machines, even that all claim, the config is the same, the software is the same and the user is the same. But when I reconfigure the Windows OS, problems disappear.

Programming is such a complex environment, it can't be done with a week of resource allocation.
