Creative Cloud Update 5.6.5.58 won't work.

[Aaron5F88]

Hello. 

I recently needed to install AfterEffects to my computer and tried to open the Creative Cloud to do so. The window showed with a text box reading

"Creative Cloud update available

Bug Fixes adn technical enhancements

Full Release Notes (v. 5.6.5.58)"

Followed by the auto-update switch. 

I tried updating, and it seemed like it finished because I got no error and the loading bar completed, but the program did not open the window again like I figured it would. I tried manually opening the window again, only to find the same message as before! I have tried restarting my device and that still has not worked. And of course I can't uninstall Creative Cloud without first getting rid of my applications, which seems to me like a waste of time. 

Any suggestions on what to try next?

Make sure your computer meets the minimum CPU & GPU requirements to run latest CC and After Effects. Most Creative Cloud apps work on:

• Windows 10 versions 21H2, 21H1, 20H2, 2004, and 1909 (LTSB branches are not supported);
• macOS 12 (Monterey), macOS 11 (Big Sur), macOS 10.16 or 10.15 (Catalina)
