AdobeIPCBroker.exe - System Error ???

[rmelum]

Hi. I get 'AdobeIPCBroker.exe - System Error' on my screen, sying: The code execution cannot proceed because CRClient.dll was not found. reinstalling the program may fix this problem.' - But I haven't intalled 'AdobeIPCBroker.exe' program. This message canot be removed from my screen. Have tried to close and re-start the computer, but this message still pops up - un top of any program or screen I open - aways visible. Anyone know what this is? How to fix? Do I have to delete and re-intall Adobe???

Hi @rmelum 

AdobeIPCBroker.exe is an important system file for facilitating the services of Adobe Creative Cloud.

What is the version of the Acrobat DC you are using? To check the version go to Help > About Acrobat and make sure you have the recent version 22.3.20314. Go to Help > Check for updates and reboot the computer once.

Also, check for any missing/pending updates for the OS and try rebooting the computer and check if that helps.

You may also try to remove the application using the Acrobat cleaner tool https://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/acrobatetk/tools/Labs/cleaner.html  , reboot the computer once and reinstall the application using the direct link

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks Amal - tried what you recommended, used the cleaner tool and rebooted (restarted) computer. Reinstalled the Acrobat - and I still have the same Error message on my screen that cannot be removed, and shows on top of whatever else I open on my computer. ...... This is frustrating!!

I just had to uninstall and reinstall the program. Problem fixed. And yes, it was incredibly FRUSTRATING!
