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...

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..

Hi, 

 

I can't launch Adobe XD. When I open it, it gets stuck on the white loading screen with the XD logo in the middle. 

 

I am using Adobe XD version 47.0.22 on Windows 10.

 

So far I have tried:

  • Updating my graphics driver.
  • Restarting computer.
  • Unistalling and reinstalling Adobe XD. 
  • Signing out of CC and back in again. 
  • Opening XD only while CC is no running.

 

I am really stuck with what to do.. any ideas please?

August 2021 still the same problem which by the way it's became much more present and frequent with the last update or the one before.  Today is happened 3 times in almost 2 hours, just a pain.

It's just a pain work in this condition. You are on your file when suddenly Adobe Xd get stuck, the only thing you can do is access to the File menu, click Save and hope for the best. 

Then you open the Task Manager, thinking to find Adobe Xd stuck, but it's not, it's working but it's just frozen, then after a while it crash with Win10 passing the usual system error. 
Then when you open Adobe Xd, you have a copy of your original file and finger cross that everything is saved.
