Hey! maybe someone could help me, I have a huge issue.

When I tried to start adobe animate after a few seconds, it's closed.

Doesn't show any error. Just crash.

I tried a clean install, delete everything and reinstalled the program.

I used cloud cleaner too.

I tried in another account, nothing always the same issue. I'm desperate.

This happens after the april windows update.

I already tried give it full permission and run the trobleshooting tool.

I tried too force start in high perfomance in my nvidia settings. NOTHING! always crashed.

Any clue? I appreciate any help!

Thanks!

I fixed my Animate CC on Windows 10 by reducing my number of installed fonts to below 1000 (I had 1800 installed).

I'm sure most of you heard this by now, but just in case you now might have a workaround. Thanks goodness because I've been able to resume my remastering of all my old flash cartoons "Radiskull & Devil Doll" and Dicky & Jackie.

The team understands the urgency. They have managed to identify the issue and fix it in an internal build. The update should be available very soon, around the second week of July, if everything goes right. We will update this forum post as soon as the build is live.

Appreciate your patience and apologize for the inconvenience meanwhile. I thank all people on the forum that have shared information we requested for and helped us track down the issue.

Thanks,

Preran

Hi, today I talked with Adobe and they found the solution to the issue.

I think they release the patch very soon.

The good news is looks that the problem has been solved.

Anyway Preran can tell you more.

It does look like the team has identified the issue. They are working towards releasing a build as soon as possible (I would give it a couple of weeks, but don't hold me to that).

I am also experiencing this issue. I did a factory reset on my Windows 10 pc and Animate worked for a week. It has stopped working again today. It just gives me the splash screen, opens the program window momentarily and then closes. I have no idea what changed about my pc that has caused this today.

Thanks in advance!

*edit* I had a further thought and I did in fact install Toon Boom Harmony today. I've just uninstalled it and Adobe Animate now opens up fine!! This is a temporary solution but it would be handy to have both programs installed and getting along

Hey Preran! that's not sound like a quick solution. I really need use my laptop the next week with a project in HTML5 and my laptop it is unuseful.

If others users found a solution to my exactly problem will be nice that you share with me because I'm waiting a fix since more than 2 weeks and I use animate to work. Because I already read the others post post and forums and none solution works for me.

Thanks!


Message 50 in this topic is worth a read:

Adobe Animate CC 2018 Crashing on startup, Windows 10

Short version is that the poster found that stopping the process 'fontdrvhost.exe' would then let Animate run ok. The fonts wouldn't look right, but at least you could do some work.

I've had the same problem.
The final discovery is disabled in the boot menu,
(Adobe GC lnvoker utility and Adobe Update startup).
Open these 2.

You go and see if it's forbidden.

There's something to see.
In System services,
Adobe's related services,
Set this to Automatic mode
(Adobeupdateservice)

I am sorry.

I didn't help you.

Because I'm the one who came to the forum to ask questions.

Maybe Adobe employees can solve the problem.

Maybe you can try installing C + + and .net
