Slow operation and wants to "repair: the program daily. Can barely get edits done.

It sounds like your Adobe Creative CLoud Desktop App is either corrupt or malfunctioning.

See this link for advice on re-installing the CC Desktop App -

The error message that appears says "Adobe Creative Cloud is needed to resolve this problem.  However, it is missing or damaged.  Please download and install a new copy of the Creative cloud from 'http://www.adobe.com/go/adobecreativecloudapp"  Then it gives two boxes.  Repair or Quit.

I do the frequent updates from the creative cloud, but I still get the error message.

• Can you expand upon that?
• Do you get an error message? Perhaps "Click Repair to Continue" (as seen in ref 1)
• Do you receive a Crash Report?

I suspect the following link is on order:
