Creative Cloud app on Mac doesn't work

[jamesk32354019]

I updated LR Classic and Photoshop to the latest on my Mac with M1 chip.  The Creative Cloud icon that takes you to updates and indicates when you have updates available no longer seems to work.  Click on it and it does nothing.

I had that issue this evening on Windows 10.

Use your browser to go to Adobe.com and sign in to your account.  Then download the new version of the CC app.

I have downloaed and installed the Creative Cloud app twice.  Still no luck.  I updated rthe LR and Photoshop earlier  and they work fine.  The app that used to open and show me my adobe plan apps does nothing.  It inert.

Mac: Cmd + Opt + R
