Major issue - Adobe's ending of of Cloud Syncing seems to have damaged windows explorer for many

[SW-Creative]

Many creative cloud users are reporting that in the past day windows explorer has become very slow with everyone experiencing the same problem.  Clicking on folders/files in file explorer causes the cursor to flash 3 times and takes 2-3 seconds to load the folder/file on any disk drive.

The posts below are starting to pop up in reddit help communities and the common factor is that everyone has Creative Cloud installed.  I am experiencing this myself on my work system.  Adobe needs to get an emergency fix put out for this.

OMG thank god i found those reddit thread. I was thinking my systems drives were failing or something. Adobe need to fix this ASAP this is a serious issues. And this thing comes on top of the terrible and greedy decisions Adobe made to end the creative cloud files sync, so not only you remove features but when doing so you break the systems of your users? Be better and fix this now.

Same! Adobe FIX IT! (cursing removed)

I'm having no end of problems with the CC app since they yanked out the file syncing. Insanity. I've had to repair the installation 3 times

[defaultjrqc69z15p8t]

I have the same issue exactly! 
i hope Adobe get's to it soon.

I am experiencing the same problem.

Same error!

With deinstalling the Creative Cloud App ( I used this deinstall helper:  https://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/en/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app...  )  the windows explorer starts working again , no blue waiting donuts anymore when selecting items.

But of course we need the CC-app to use the cloud products.

@Adobe - this topic is really urgend!
We need a fast fix to be business productive

[Viki.Mellow]

Same problem here, did everything until I discovered the reddit threads. Thought that something is up with my hardware. Really frustrating and very time consuming. Please fix this bug
