    Jojil13478171, Error 184 occurs because a necessary file is locked by another process.  Please restart the computer and begin the installation again.  If you have a Creative Cloud - Individual membership then please begin the install process through the Adobe Creative Cloud desktop application as discussed in Learn how to download your Adobe Creative Cloud apps .

    restarting does not work. I am also getting the issue others are reporting. the message that CC desktop is running in compatibility mode when it is not. Then the update is blocked with error 184. Your documented troubleshooting methods don't work. Restart does not work to resolve locked file issue on automatic update attempt. removing compatibility settings does not work to stop message appearing does not work since the adobe apps listed in your troubleshooting are not in compatibility mode. When are you going to solve these issues?
