I've using Win10. I think the DW app is installed - I updated it yesterday. I'm signed into CC. I didn't have trouble opening DW last week. I've tried clicking on my Shortcut and, on the exe file in WinEx, and on the site's index file. Nothing seems to open the program. When I click on the Shortcut in Programs, I get a quick "explosion," then nothing happens. Suggestions?

If you have the same problem as in the original post, this has been answered as solved. If you still have a problem, then it may not be the same as the OP's and it is better to start a new discussion explaining what the problem is.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

Hello,

I have the same issue, Dreamweaver won't launch.

The process is running, and it adds more than one process if we launch more Dreamweaver.exe :

But nothing happen.

The only method I found is to add Dreamweaver to startup programs.

Restart computer and Dreamweaver starts.

Works for me.

Hi,

Can you try running your system in clean-boot mode and launch Dreamweaver.
Steps to reboot in clean mode :https://support.microsoft.com/en-in/help/929135/how-to-perform-a-clean-boot-in-windows

In case the issue still persist, please go to event viewer, select Windows logs and share a screenshot.

After trying everything, installing, uninstalling, reinstalling, cleaning etc. and having a sleepless night, this was the only solution that helped. Another program is likely to prevent Dreamweaver from starting, and when I perform a clean boot it works. Thanks.

Preran,

I've tried everything. I uninstalled and installed lower versions and other programs. used the CC uninstaller. Used the Cleaner tool. Nothing opens. Not from program icons and not from the CC interface.

This seems like an issue with the CC app itself.

I've lost two days of work now. Please help.

This solution helped once, but problem returned.

I also tried running as administrator, but that didn't work.

One time that I tried the solution above, I clicked on "log out" in CC and nothing happened. It seems to be an issue with the CC app manager.

Dreamweaver CC 2018 just won't launch. In Task Manager, there is a background process for each time I try to launch Dreamweaver. I also have CS6, and THAT will not launch now either.

This is a total productivity killer! Please help. Windows 10.
