Need urgent help Creative Cloud Desktop app does not initialize after update

[dieterd54786602]

After the latest creative cloud app was installed it does not initialize anymore. I receive the attached error messages. I red all related troubleshoot articles and followed the suggested steps to resolve the problem inclucing to deinstall ALL Adobe apps using the AdobeCreativeCloudCleanertool. The bad thing now is I cannot reinstall my Photoshop and Lightroom app anymore since the creative cloud app is not starting. I also install the latest  C++ Library from Microsoft.

My System is a Lenovo Ideapad 3 15ITL6 with Windows 11 Home 22631.3296 installed.

I need urgent help please since this as my working system.

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

Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

if that fails and you have windows, open your control panel > add/remove programs > cc desktop app > repair

I already did all the above steps without success. Windows is up to date with the latest visual c++ library installed. I also used the alternative link to download the creative cloud app. The error remains. The creative cloud desktop app will not initialize and terminate with the attached error message.

contact adobe support via chat.  there are 2 ways to contact adobe; chat and twitter (now x):

chat:
use a browser that allows popups and cookies
and click here, https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html?rghtup=autoOpen
in the chat field (lower right), type AGENT
be patient, it can take quite a while to reach a human.

twitter/x:
tweet @AdobeCare

p.s. if you're contacted by anyone (via email or private message), it's much more likely to be a scammer than an adobe representative.
