    That MAY be a video driver problem

    Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers
    Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter
    There have also been reports in the past that the latest driver is not the best driver

    nVidia Driver Downloads https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

    -for all Adobe programs use the STUDIO driver, not the GAMING driver
    -To achieve the highest level of reliability, Studio Drivers undergo extensive
    -testing against multi-app creator workflows and multiple revisions of the top
    -creative applications from Adobe to Autodesk and beyond
    .
    If you have a laptop you MAY also need to check for a laptop specific nVidia driver
    -SOME laptops require an approved driver from the laptop company, not nVidia

    Try resetting the CC App.

    To reset the Creative Cloud desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

    Win: Ctrl + Alt + R

    Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

    If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling the CC App:
