Error message “CCXProcess.app is damaged and can’t be opened" after installing Ventura 13.0

[rodrigoe55625431]

Hi,  I am constantly getting the message "CCXProcess.app is damaged and can’t be opened" on my M1 MacMini since I installed Ventura 13.0 on it.

The error message is exasperating, as it keeps popping up on top of everything else and I can't even send it to the back using ⌘+TAB. Even when I close it, the window keeps popping up after just a few seconds.

I tried to repair it using Creative_Cloud_Uninstaller.dmg, but to no avail. The issue persist.

Is there any way to solve this difficulty? Thanks.

can you rollback your os until adobe releases compatible software?

Yes but I don't want to create more problems than I'll solve.

reset the cc desktop app: make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

if that fails, try to repair

if that fails go ahead and uninstall using the correct uninstaller from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-mes... and then reinstall

if that fails, do a clean cc install following each applicable step:

then uninstall the cc desktop app, again using the correct uninstaller, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-mes...

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

check for, and if available, update your os

Rodrigoe, are you still encountering problems with the CCXProcess? I am showing that case ADB-26733724-N7D6 was closed. You can use the steps listed in https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/customer-support-portal.html to make any updates to your recent support cases.

If you still encounter problems with the CCXProcess, then can you please implement the following troubleshooting steps and update this public forum discussion on the results? 

The following steps can be used to temporarily remove the CCXProcess from a computer running macOS:

1. Open Activity Monitor.
2. Search CCXProcess.
3. Click on CCXProcess from search results.
4. Click on the cross sign in Activity Monitor located at top and then click on Force Quit.
5. Go to Applications then Utilities, and delete "Adobe Creative Cloud Experience" directory.
6. This will remove CCXProcess temporarily, It will eventually get reinstalled based on your platform and architecture.

I look forward to your updates, Rodrigoe.

Hi Jeff, in order to fix it I had to uninstall all the Creative Cloud apps, including CC itself, and install again. Thanks for your feedback.

[Jeffrey_A_Wright]

Ok, thanks for the response, Rodrigoe! My apologies for any frustrations you encountered.

Same problem here, did you find a solution?

[kglad]

it's an adobe issue.  they're working on it.

I have the same problem. What is CXXProcess? Do I need it? Can I wait for some Adobe fix? Are they trying to fix it?

Thanks,

Eileen

Thank, kglad! Sounds like it's not critical to using Photoshop or Bridge, so I guess I can be patient about this.<g>
