I have run the Cleaner, I have uninstalled and resintalled multiple times. What is going on? I'm mid project and suddenly it doesn't work.
Using a VALID Windows 10 copy. Updated all CC products and ran the Adobe Cleaner. Help?

    From what I can find in forums there is no preference folder for Adobe XD. This being the case I assume this isn't something that is effecting it. I am at a loss, I have had no other issues with Adobe up until now.

    Ignore the windows activation. That is a screenshot from a different issue. When I get the error I cannot use any Screen Capture tools. So I just found a similar screenshot and used it. I have the current version of WIndows, checked for updates. meaning there is nothing newer than what I have. The service was working perfectly 2 days ago. Any other suggestions? If a screenshot is required specifically from my screen I can use my phone, but I don't think it matters.

    if it was working before on the same os, you should reset the xd preferences by deleting the preference file(s).  i don't know where those are located so you'll need to do some sleuthing.

    here are other preference file locations adobe uses to give you a starting point.  if you find the xd preferences location, post back so others can use the info:

    you need win 10 64bit build 10.0.15063 or later.  (and that activate notice looks problematic.)
