Upon booting CC: error message- "AdobeIPCBroker quit unexpectedly."

[lorenm84878416]

This behavior occurred after some recent update to Creative Cloud Desktop. I have no idea what it is, I have changed nothing in my environment. Adobe Help from a nice guy named Nishi, probably in Bangalore, valiantly spent an hour going through my machine remotely to try and dig out the process. Did not help. This is a persistent error. Snapshot attached.

I'm on a Mac Pro 2013, not a PC. Could that be part of the problem?

you may need to update your os version (what is it?) and update your cc cloud version (what is it?).

p.s. adobeipcbroker allows communication among the various adobe apps, https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/adobe-background-processes.html

Yes, I suppose I'll have to upgrade to Mojave, the stupid little dialog persists. Today it came up three times, stacked over itself. 

Background processes should stay in the background- this is kid stuff.

if you're still using 10.13, you're 3 major versions behind current. 

and while there's reason to avoid the latest (big sur) 11+, there's no reason (afaik) to avoid 10.15.7 (catalina).  ie, skip 10.14.x (mojave).

It's good advice but I'm careful. I'll be using a leapfrog upgrade process with two separate volumes to assur emy app collections functions. I read Catalina was full of bugs, I don't even want to see it. I figure I'll jump from Mojave to Big Sur after a few patches in 11.x. I also have to watch my machine capabilities; my Mac Pro 2013 will accommodate Mojave but I have to research Big Sur. Lots of aspects to an upgrade.

And none of that is an excuse to show underlying apps.
