There is no resolution for this is there. I have been on sessions with tech support where they have "fixed" it but it comes back within 48 hours every time. 

Also, the error keys I receive are not the same as those covered in the "troubleshooting" articles, so none of that is any help whatsoever. 

 

Considering that this issue has been plaguing Adobe windows users for over 2 years, it's pretty shocking that it hasn't been resolved. How can this bug be permanently resolved?

So I know this is not the first time this happens. I'm trying to open Adobe XD and it keeps closing after a brief white screen. Like other posts suggested I updated my graphic card, rebooted my computer but I still get the same problem.

 

Is there any other solution?

 

Thank you.

Running on Windows 10 Pro 64, Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB memory.

Adobe xd crashes when I try to launch it. It shows a blank screen for a second or two then crashes.

 

I have windows 10 on my HP 15ay-116tu with an updated HD 620 graphics card.

I've tried all four solutions posted on the help page but did not help.

Hi, try to follow the instructions you find in this thread: TROUBLESHOOTING: Adobe XD crashes (White screen) on launch on Windows 10

Participant

First, Sorry for my English.

So, I have my Adobe XD force close after few second. I've tried and follow the instruction in this thread and related link in here. But no luck for almost 3 days. And yesterday I read some post on reddit says that Adobe XD cannot run (white screen then close) if Microsoft Store is corrupted. And right, my Ms Store is corrupted (same as XD, force close after few second), so Adobe XD cannot run if Microsft Store corrupted ?.
Can you please make Adobe XD can run even when Microsotf Store is corrupted ? Because my Ms Store is often get corrupted after updated Windows. This is the second time this year that my Windows App get corrupted (Store and Win Photos). The second one i get lucky because I can fix Microsoft Store by reinstall app via Powershell. But the first one i have to fresh install Windows. I don't want to reinstall Windows again in future if Ms Store corrupted so i cannot open Adobe XD.

I am also having the issue since I got a new laptop(similar settings but different hardware). I also had that issue for a while on my old PC but I managed to download an old version of XD which fixed the issue. I tried doing the same on this laptop but it seems we cant download old version of XD anymore on Creative Cloud ... 

 

Some observations about the issue:

- After Installing/reinstalling XD or Cloud + XD, at no time XD would launch, it always insta close on white screen when launching.

- Sometime, after a reboot, I mange to open XD properly. However, if I close XD and try to reopen it a while later, it wont open and crash on white screen again.

- I tried all the steps suggested and nothing worked.

 

Event viewer error( sorry for FR 😞

This is about the 3rd time I've had this problem, I was using it 2 days ago then I saw the update and updated it, once the update installed it no longer worked. I've tried solutions 1 - 4 in here https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/xd/kb/adobeXD-launches-into-white-screen-on-windows.html#Errordetails none worked. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I've even reset my PC but kept all personal files and even that didn't work.

 

Below is an image of what I see before it closes, no error or anything, just closes.

Hi Bobb, sorry that you're having trouble while launching Adobe XD. We would need some details here, would you mind sharing the following logs? 

 

 

I would also request you to enable and collect the crash dumps as per the instructions mentioned here: https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/how-to-generate-crash-dump-on-windows-machine.html Use "Full dump" for the DumpType. Then launch XD again if it crashes, go to the CrashDumps folder (see full path above) and locates the file with the correct timestamp. Please share the OS build as well.

 

You may upload these logs to CC or Dropbox as a zip file and share the link with me in a private message. Please let me know in case you face trouble grabbing any of the logs.

 

Thanks,

Atul_Saini

I'm having a problem getting Adobe XD to launch.

 

I'll have issues with it every so often but usually updating it fixes the problem. Today I tried to open XD, and it came up with a white screen and then completely closed itself out with no error.

 

I closed Photoshop and tried opening XD again, and to my surprise it launched. However upon trying to start a new file, it gave the error code "50" and crashed again.

 

Since then I havent even been able to get it to launch again.

 

  • I've updated XD to the latest version
  • I've updated my graphics drivers through the Geforce Experience App
  • I've updated Windows.
  • I've uninstalled and reinstalled countless times, including using the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool
  • I've restarted my computer nothing short of 50 times.
  • I've followed every step and solution here: https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/adobeXD-launches-into-white-screen-on-windows.html EXCEPT FOR SOLUTION 3 since I don't have the "BlockProtocolElevation " file.
  • I've checked event viewer which displayed the error below: 

 

 

 

Faulting application name: XD.exe, version: 22.7.12.3, time stamp: 0x5d844950

  • I've gone to the Microsoft support forums and tried their solutions which included Resetting the windows store and reregistering the apps. I did everything short of uninstall the windows store and reinstalling it.
  • I've taken ownership of the WindowsApps folder.
  • I've updated the .NET Framework.

And none of this has fixed my issue. STILL it crashes on startup. At this point I can't use XD at all. I'm having absolutely no issues with any other Adobe APP, just this one. I have no idea what else to do to fix this.

Did you get a chance to update your graphic driver and let us know if it helped? If you had already tried the solution and it did not work for you, send your Adobe ID, location, and phone number to dl-webpm1@adobe.com We will get in touch with you for investigation.

Mine has been working fine and up to date. My junior on the other hand has had issues. We had to roll back to a previous version which worked but now it forced and update and has started the crashing issues again. We need help getting it to work as soon as possible. Do you recommend we too email the dl-webpm1@adobe.com ?

Hello,

Lately, when I open Adobe XD, i get a white screen. After a few seconds the whitescreen dissapears and XD is being closed automatically.

It seems to be like this when I have Updated XD. I have removed and reinstalled the old version but that does not help either.

Does anyone know how to solve?

Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone!

I haven't encountered this problem until I started using XD at work. I have never had a problem with the program at home.
It's about the 4th or 5th time when Adobe XD wont open at all. I've seen the other forums describing the same problem: open PC, open Creative Cloud, open XD - get a white screen for a few seconds than the program just shuts down.

So far I solved this by uninstalling it, deleting the temporary files from my PC and restarting the computer. But I don't want to do this every week or so. I am asking about the reason this actually happens since:
-XD is updated
-PC is updated
-Windows 10 Pro running

What can I do to avoid this in the future?


With gratitude,
Teona

Hello again and thank you for your support!

After looking thoughout the 4 solutions listed in the document, I was a little skeptical on my technical skills so editing files in the system folder was not my favorite option. I have encountered the 4th option before, and was already tired of uninstalling the program.

After some moments of thought, I decided simply restarting the PC once or twice, untill everything turned alright. Maybe the last updates had some contibution to this issue.


Thank you again for helping!
