We have multiple Citrix desktop servers with recently updated Creative Cloud Desktop where users upon logging immediately get a pop up error "Adobe CEF helper has stopped working".  Server OS is fully patched Windows Server 2016DC.  Application error log indicates offending module is kernelbase.dll

We now have an update available for the Creative Cloud desktop app (v 5.4.2.541), please click on this link to download the patch and install it to resolve this issue. 

Admins can create a package that contains the Creative Cloud desktop app from the Admin Console and deploy it to affected devices.

 

Let us know if this helps.

Hello,

Kindly confirm the version of the creative cloud installed/updated in which you are getting this error. Also, check if you are getting the same behavior on a physical machine as well.

We are having this issue on all of our Amazon Workspaces running Server 16 1607 (14393.4169). Once the new Creative Cloud App update fired off we repeatedly get the CEF error.

Same issue here, and same setup - on a Citrix Desktop, and I get the same pop-up over and over after last night's CC update. About to uninstall entirely, unless I see a solution here in the next few minutes.

Hello, yesterday we got this Error Message on several PCs in our Company? If you try to close the Message it reopens. Any Suggestion (i tried alredy to reinstall the Adobe Creative Cloud Agent, but this did not help)?

Have the same problem. Creative Cloud is not working at all. I just see this crach all the time. I reinstall the cc and clean the computer but it keeps crushing. 

Don't know how to fix the problem.
