For the past week I've tried to go under the CC menu at the top of my screen and view and upload app updates. The apps don't show and won't reload. I just get an error message and prompt to contact customer support.

    Hi,

    You are getting the 'Download error' in the Apps panel.

    Please refer to the help document below:

    Re: Creative Cloud "Download Error" message

    Quit Adobe Creative Cloud app.

    Step 1)

    Disable Anti-Virus and Firewall temporarily .

    Step 2)

    1)Open Control Panel and then click on the option "Network and Internet" .

    2)Click on Internet options, click on 'Connections' tab.

    3)In the 'Connections' tab, select 'LAN' settings, you will be able to view the Local area network settings box.

    4)Check the box-"Automatically Detect Settings" and then "uncheck" all the other check boxes like 'Use automatic configuration script', 'Use a proxy server' , Bypass proxy server' ,then click on ok button .

    5)Click on "LAN settings" button again , make sure "Automatically Detect Settings" is the only option selected, keep the LAN properties window open.

    Step 3)

    Press Windows button (located between Ctrl and Alt buttons) along with R button together at a time , you will get a run command window.

    Type in below command and hit 'Enter' key.

    Appdata

    It will open Appdata folder.

    Then navigate to Local>Adobe

    Open Adobe folder and delete AAMUpdater and OOBE folders.

    Then launch Adobe Creative Cloud app and check .

    Still same ??

    1)Navigate to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and look for file named hosts inside etc folder.

    2)Copy the hosts file to Desktop and open the same with notepad.

    Let me know whether you can see any Adobe related entries inside Hosts file like 127.0.0.1 activate.adobe.com.......etc??

    No Adobe entries and Proxy setting were same as mentioned .

    Hi markl3963786,

    have you tried uninstalling all your Apps and the Creative Cloud desktop app?

    Use the 'Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool' to completely remove any leftovers: Use the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

    Then install the Creative Cloud desktop app plus the desired Apps again.

    Hope that helps!

    Kind Regards,
    Maurice
