Thanks for sharing the info, Alain228042626anx.  We would suggest you to please try uninstalling XD and Creative Cloud desktop app from the Cleaner tool and reinstall both CCDA and XD. Once reinstall, please open XD from the Creative Cloud Desktop app.

Let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Harshika

Hello Harshika,

I already tried uninstalling XD and reinstalling with CCDA and it didn't
work, it kept crashing.
Please note that uninstalling Creative cloud desktop app will result in the
uninstallation of all my adobe apps, and downloading and installing again
all the adobe apps is not an option.

Kindly advise,

Hello , 

Please note that i uninstalled everything and re-installed the needed, and the XD is still crashing while all other apps are working fine. 
Kindly share another approach to fix this issue, maybe a technical approach as the XD is stuck on the white background with the logo. 

Awaiting your prompt response.

This is exactly the issue I am having, as well. I have done the steps already listed and like Alain, removing all my programs and re-downloading and re-installing is not an option. Deadline is pending on this project.

UPDATE: 

First downloading the version 4.5xxx and then uninstalling 4.7xxx and then installing 4.5xxx has since corrected the issue. Just ensure NOT to update XD to 4.7xxx until Adobe has a fix in place. (in CC)

[Alain228042626anx]

Hello Lamont, 

This solution did not work for me, i still face the same issue. I have tried this many times. 
Please adobe issue a fix urgently or provide a proper solution to follow please.

I will try my best to help.

Hi

If that doesn't work then try this:

In the registry go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders

Check if APPDATA and LocalAPPDATA exist. If they don't. They will exist in the key below. Create these two in Shell Folders - pointing to same location as User Shell Folders.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders

Then - Kill all the Adobe Cloud Desktop processes and Repair or re-install Adobe XD.

Retry launching Adobe XD.

It will say in the Shell Folder key this shell is now depriciated - well - one for Adobe to discuss. Hope it works for you guys..

- Tip - Don't delete Adobe folders in a Users profile, delete the contents only - if you need to do so..!!

End..

1. Go to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe/Adobe XD"

2. Open text file - csdkConfiguratorLog.txt

3. Copy the command at the top of the file above - should be like the one below:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe/Adobe XD/CSDKConfigurator.exe" "48.0.12.10" "Adobe.CC.XD" "XD.exe" "SPRK"

4. Close the csdkConfiguratorLog.txt file.

5. Run the command in step 3 as Admin.

This replaces the Adobe folder if it doesn't exist and sub-folders including setting the correct folder permissions.

Run Adobe XD it should run.

This fixes the issue when launching Adobe XD - XD opens and spash screen freezes and doesn't go any further.

1. Go to "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe/Adobe XD"
2. Open text file - csdkConfiguratorLog.txt
3. Copy the command at the top of the file above - should be like the one below:

"C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe/Adobe XD/CSDKConfigurator.exe" "48.0.12.10" "Adobe.CC.XD" "XD.exe" "SPRK"

1. Close the csdkConfiguratorLog.txt file.
2. Run the command in step 3 as Admin.

This replaces the Adobe folder if it doesn't exist and sub-folders including setting the correct folder permissions in your Roaming folder %APPDATA%\Roaming\Adobe

Note: - Don't delete this folder if you have other Adobe apps on your machine.!!

6. Run Adobe XD it should run.

I can't open XD from Win10, I've done all instructions from the Adobe site but it doesn't work

[Rishabh_Tiwari]

Hi @CustoM 2.0 ,

Sorry to hear about the trouble. Could you please confirm if you have already tried the suggestions shared here https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/xd-crashes-when-launched-on-Windows.html? If yes, could you confirm if XD is crashing on launch or it's stuck on the logo screen? This issue generally happens when the OS is not up to date, so please ensure you have the latest OS updates. The drivers should be up to date as per the manufacturer's website. 

Regards

Rishabh

Hello,

yes, I confirm I've tried all suggestions about
https://helpx.adobe.com/xd/kb/xd-crashes-when-launched-on-Windows.html
[1] but XD doesn't work.

I also launch it now but there is the same error (I've used LogCollector
and shared just now AdobeLogs_20220801_094952_540-win-GS.zxp).

Where is the problem? I remember that I used it in the preview version
and I set up XD preview but it doesn't 'work...
