(SOLUTION 2024) Adobe Muse not open after updating Creative Cloud

[santiago p]

Hello, my solution to this problem is simple like adding any letter to this file (AdobeIPCBroker) example AdobeIPCBrokerSSSS 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\IPC

copy and paste in your explorer or just follow the route

please help me in my project by following my instagram page thank you guys @smoothdesigns

Could be a windows 11 issue, or you may have installed Muse to a different folder.

Do a search for adobeipcbroker and rename it adobeipcbrokerMA 

Muse should now load

for this fix, i'm suspecting win 11 is the issue

I suspect it's a Windows 11 update. Adobe Muse was working fine on another PC 3 months ago.

I didn't install Muse anywhere else and this whole article is about adobeipcbrokerMA changing the extension name, why wouldn't I follow the forum directions?

[jamesb76273406]

Don't change the extension, change the file name, also if you do a full system search you may find the file somewhere else.

@miguel_ángel_0120 

it was working on win 11 ?  

using the rename fix?

[jamesb76273406]

It's more likely to be a CC update. But you could try rolling the windows update back and see if that makes a difference

[kglad]

• cc update is possible, but i'm betting it's os.
•  

test by comparing cc versions 

[jamesb76273406]

Personally I don't think it's CC. I'm running the latest, and downloaded Muse yesterday. Applied the "fix" and it worked. Windows 10 latest updates.

Windows 11 does weird stuff ... perhaps use compatibility mode?

@jamesb76273406 @miguel_ángel_0120 

what are your cc desktop versions.  (saying you have the latest version doesn't tell us which version number you have because updates are rolled out to users in waves so two latest versions can be different versions.)

Adobe creative cloud 6.5.0.348

[jamesb76273406]

Windows 10

Yep, even with the AdobEIPCBroker.app filename changed, I still get the same error.

This fix did work for me for quite awhile, but in the past few weeks to a month stopped working and now I'm getting the "no applied style cache" error. Has anyone else encountered this?

Mac OS Ventura 13.7.4

Update 02/27/2025
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\IPCBox
change the name of the AdobeIPCBroker.exe
Then find the running process in the task manager under processes and end task
In Win 11 just search IPC in the box at the top of task manager.

Muse now opens and stays open!

[HendersonGDI]

Is there a comparable way to do this on Mac? I've changed the name of AdobeIPCBroker, but I get an error saying "No applied style cache" when I open Muse. Watching my Activity Monitor app when I open Muse, I don't see anything like IPC showing up.

[HendersonGDI]

And to follow up, I changed the AdobeIPCBroker file name back, and when I did that it ran into the old problem where Muse immediately quits. Changing the name of AdobeIPCBroker brings up the "No applied style cache" error and the program quits. So something with this AdobeIPCBroker app is causing the problem. What is it?
