I use Illustrator, InDesign, and Photoshop constantly. In the past few weeks I haven't been able to open any of those programs or creative cloud. I have tried everything, and at this  point I cant even uninstall or reinstall the programs. Whenever I open a program, the inital loading screen pops up, but then nothing happens. Nothing appears in task manager either, and I don't know what to do.
