I think I have corrupted my Lightroom cc app.

Windows 7pro

I use a program titled Ashampoo snap10 and snapping a web page I was getting Lightroom cc opening instead of the normal ashampoo action required.

Lightroom will not now open nor can I uninstall Lightroom cc, nothing happens. Also when I attempt to reinstall using my adobe email and password I do get the

option to install but it seems to freeze and a statement states Installing now.

Also my photoshop cc does open from (in W7 ) but only from the programs page, it will not open using shortcuts at screen anymore now.

Being trying to contact Adobe via telephone but no luck, is there a genuine adobe number available?

Or can you guys please help and 80 year old out of his mess?

    Correct answer Rob_Cullen

    I have still not solved my problem.  Adobe lightroom classic cc using and following the above instructions.

    Lightroom will not open, it will not uninstall and attempting to download the correct program it freezes or it did not install.

    Please help further.


    To Un-install:

    In the CC Desktop App: Click the down arrow beside the [Open] button and you have the uninstall choice.

    If this does not work: Download and run the Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner App

    Use the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems

    moving from Adobe Creative Cloud​ to Lightroom Classic CC — The desktop-focused app

    It looks for me as you have Lightroom Classic CC (compared to Lightroom CC -  and yes it is confusing also the younger ones). If you have, however, Lightroom CC please notify me and I will move the request to the Lr CC forum.

    Windows programs use the extension of a file to find the associated programs. If 2 programs compete for the same extension, the last one installed wins.

    It's not at all silly. It's confusing and it's Adobe creating this confusion. :-)

    The solution is to use the CC Cleaner Tool to Completely remove all Adobe software then reinstall the ones you want.
