I've been getting this window message in CC for the last few days. Just got off a 45 minute remote session with support to no solution. Any thoughts?
Called Customer Care. They helped me for 45 minutes but their shift was ending, so we stopped. Called again the next day. Customer Care had me delete and reinstall all my CC apps, as well as my CS6 apps. That worked, AND now I have a nice clean install of everything! I feel like Sheldon Cooper!

@kglad , your solution worked! I was NOT looking forward to re-installing all apps (especially on a limited internet connection).
Edit: The CC app Installer "Repair" option worked! Thanks for the link.

This problem popped up today after running the latest update for Creative Cloud Desktop App. No good results after more than an hour on the phone with support and a lengthy remote session where a technician who deleted multiple Adobe background folders and reinstalled the app. In the end, the suggestion was to uninstall and reinstall all Adobe apps! Not a good choice for me and not really a solution.
I'm glad if that works for some, but a complete, fresh install of apps wipes out custom settings and the support person could not tell me a way to avoid that. That's not a solution, it is a temporary fix at the expense of the user's established workflow. It's about the same as saying you should burn down the forest around your house because you found a roach in your kitchen.
Support said I would get an email from them in follow-up so I could reconnect with them about progress on a fix. I've not received any confirmation email. They promised that engineering is working on a solution and I should check on the app again in 4 or 5 hours.

This has been resolved (as of 11 a.m. CDT, USA on May 11, 2021) within the Creative Cloud Desktop app without having to reinstall other apps. I'm very grateful for the quick solution.

This worked for me as well! The thought of reintalling ALL my third party (AEScripts) add-ons had me majorly stressed!

This problem is happening for many of our users. Repairing the Adobe CC desktop app did not help. Uninstalling and reinstalling everything did not help either. Please help with this, we have multiple users that cannot update their apps right now. Thank you.

Yes. We're having the same issue with Muliple Macs. Sure seems like there is a problem on Adobe's end. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello,
While awaiting for a fix, have you tried logging into the Adobe account online to view your plan. From there, I selected the download button for Download, install, or update your desktop applications ... the CC window appears like the CC desktop app on my computer. I was able to update my apps. It's kind of a round about way, but alteast I can make sure all of my apps are updated and working.
Hopefully this helps.

This may be unrelated, but I just started getting this error yesterday with Creative Cloud 5.4.5.550 for Windows. Creative Cloud installation repair did not fix it. It was caused by the Adobe Genuine Monitor Service (AGMService) being disabled.
I fixed it by setting that service's Start Type to Automatic and starting it, killing all Creative Cloud user processes like "Creative Cloud.exe", "Adobe Desktop Service.exe", and "CCLibrary.exe", then restarting Creative Cloud. If you don't kill those processes, starting AGMService won't fix anything.
I'm not sure why this just started happening, I've kept that service disabled for years and it's never prevented the Creative Cloud apps tab from loading before.

Thank you so much for this! I was fighting with the awful, constantly crashing Photoshop 22.4 all day yesterday and unable to revert to the previous version because of this CC desktop app problem. Repeated the steps you outlined above and now I'm FINALLY reinstalling Photoshop (previous, working version!)

For me, both Home and Apps Tabs do not show anything
Resetting the Adobe CC while it's active by pressinng:
Mac: CMD + OPTION + R
Home Tab begins to show contents, and the search for Adobe CC Uninstaller on my Mac and attempted to uninstall it. A conffirmation appeared to either uninstall it or repair then I clicked repair, after it finished, everything is working now.
I hope it will solve for someone.
