Muse not running after Creative Cloud Desktop app update

[DaveH5]

After the latest update to version 6.1.0.587 my copy of Adobe Muse will no longer open.

It partially loads, and then just closes.

In the Windows 10 logs I'm seeing -

Anyone any idea why this is happening?

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Muse and that makes no difference.

This is a big problem as I need to update one of my Muse websites.

And please, DON'T just tell me that Muse is now unsupported and obsolete and I should be using something else, I'm well aware of that!

I have carried on using Muse until I can find something better, which I haven't yet, and it has always worked fine up until now.

I haven't knowingly made any changes which would prevent it from working, so why has it suddenly apparently failed?

Thanks, Dave.

there are easier ways listed here.

Help needed 😬

After my Muse stopped opening, I read a lot here and the best tip seemed to be to uninstall Muse and click on "reapieren". But that didn't work on my Mac and now Muse is uninstalled and I can't find a new way to reinstall it. I urgently need help. Thanks in advance.

@GabyC. 

you weren't supposed to uninstall it.  you were supposed to repair it.

1. you can install the latest and 1 version prior versions using the cc desktop app. you must have a subscription because previous versions are not available with trials. other versions are revealed after clicking file preferences>apps>tick show older apps (at panel bottom).

2. for versions cc 2019 and older, use prodesigntools.com*.

3. for versions newer than cc 2019 but older than one previous version, contact adobe support for links**.

---------------------------------------------------------------
* most (but not all) adobe download links are available from prodesigntools.com. https://prodesigntools.com/adobe-direct-download-links.html

follow the directions (esp, step 1)

save the install file. it may not remain online.

thank jim @ prodesigntools.com
-------------------------------------------------------------

** this support is currently not available. ie, there's a significant gap (between 2019 and last year) in the available previous versions.

opposition to this decision (to limit available previous versions) has been conveyed to adobe officials who are therefore aware of the problems caused by this policy. however, unless/until changes are made, nothing can be done to legally access these files.

[GabyC.]

Thx, I have received a download link from Adobe Suooprt. Now I have Muse again, but it still crashes on startup.

[kglad]

you have to disable (activity monitor) the processes triggered by the cc desktop app before opening muse.

[GabyC.]

Yes 👍🏽, it works! Thanks.

[kglad]

you're welcome. and thanks for the update.

Just disconnected from Adobe support... they bascially said... they no longer support Muse so the inability to open it is not  their concern nor will they assist in helping to open it. Pretty terrible on their part if you ask me.

I had this once before when I had a problem with a new version of the Creative Cloud app.

As soon as I said that I was using Muse, they didn't want to know.

The problem is convincing them that the problem isn't with Muse, it's with the Creative Cloud app.

They took some convincing, but eventually they did accept that, and went through the support procedures to diagnose the problem, which was then fixed.

If they say the same thing to me if I have to eventually actually contact them about this, I will not be pleased!

I'm still hoping the issue will be fixed in the next CC app update.

If it isn't, I will certainly be on them, as I am still paying a single app subscription for Muse, and they will be taking my money for something which no longer works as it should!

[kglad]

adobe's point of view is clear.

Hi there, I got Muse to run on an old computer, with an old version of Creative Cloud, have to have WiFi turned off.

[kglad]

why do you have to disable wif?  (you can disable automatic cc app updates.)

[natashax4]

Tried. Disney work.

[kglad]

what about wifi causes a problem?

[LynnPearson222]

Not sure why, but nothing worked until I disabled WiFi.

[kglad]

ok.

[VOworks]

Here's the answer... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xfFSRdrUao

[natashax4]

But what happens when you plug back in internet and shut down. You have to do this every single time you open Muse?

[kglad]

no one has reported disabling wifi as needed except @LynnPearson222 and that video.

[natashax4]

Yeah, unplugging does nothing. Sadly.

[astridkatze]

You have to start this wa every time.

[kglad]

@astridkatze 

what's wa?

[CGI619]

I've been testing it.  (disconnect from internet, end all Adobe programs in the taskmanager, Muse will open)
I've reconnected to the internet after opening Muse.  So far, so good.  Everything seems to be working properly.
After closing Muse while connected to the internet, Muse refuses to open again.

Le problème vient de la dernière version mise à jour du CREATIVE CLOUD. Il faut aller dans les applications et cliquer pour le désinstaller, la requêtre "réparer" apparait, cliquez dessus et tout redeviendra normal... 😉

[natashax4]

No, that is not the problem. That is the only way to open the program but not FIX the problem. Also is it not a conventional way to continue to use the program we have all been paying for.

Non, ce n'est pas là le problème. C'est la seule façon d'ouvrir le programme sans résoudre le problème. Ce n’est pas non plus une manière conventionnelle de continuer à utiliser le programme pour lequel nous payons tous.
