Having issues downloading ebooks  to ADE from library.  Updated ADE to 4.5.10 on Windows 10.  Renamed My Digital Editions folder to OLD and created a new My Digital Editons folder.  Deleted previous downloads.  ADE continually fails with "not responding".

The above doesn't work either.  Installing older version does not work.  I've tried just about everything and nothing is working.  Contacted Adobe and they said they can't help and to post my issue here.  There are several other discussions related to the same issue - with no resolution.

I think you have to deactivate your computer and then reactivate it.  It still thinks you're activated on a later edition

Nope. I have to uninstall/reinstall EVERY SINGLE time I download a book.

As soon as I close it everything disappears. I don't know what to do.

I have had problems with ADE since version 2.x and this symptom is the same since then after working a while with this software on a Windows PC. The only way I got this to work was using a new profile/computer. All other things did not work. Is it the same with the iOS and Android version? Than I can spend the money on other things and not an iPad.

Another frustrated user here, just adding my voice to the chorus.

For me, downloads from the public library begin smoothly enough, and the completed downloads even show up in the Digital Editions library pane.

Then, everything freezes solid. Double-clicking a book won't open it, nor will right-clicking the book open a context menu of any kind. It's impossible to close the software itself without resorting to Windows Task Manager.

Digital Editions crashes on Windows 10 in ways that it didn't on previous versions of Windows. Please look into this, Adobe, because many of us rely on public libraries for our reading material. And Windows 10—for better and for worse—is here to stay.

Unfortunately, the solutions suggested above didn't work for me, so I'll be following this thread with interest.

Thanks.

I didn't experience the same problems with Adobe Digital Editions as above, but I was having trouble opening it. I would download a new version and double click, try launching it, and nothing would work. I recently uninstalled both 4.5 and 3.0 versions. I recently installed some Windows updates 5/15/19, I'm not sure if they are related or not. I re-downloaded Adobe Digital Editions 3.0 and was able to transfer an ebook from my local public library onto my Nook. I've also had previous problems activating it similar to @stephaniel44346648 above. I was able to activate the Adobe Digital Editions properly through the 3.0 version and transfer books/get it working. Hope this helps.

Thanks

June 2019: I haven't been able to download or open library books for some days now.  Starting ADE just immediately exits with no error message or any screen display.  Tried all the suggestions above. Uninstalled/reinstalled 4.5.10, renamed My Digital Editions and allowed it to create a new one. Last attempt was to remove Adept registry key.  No luck on anything.  Will try installing on a different computer next, in desperation.  Don't really want to, I like this computer.

Unfortunately, one day when loading a bunch of equipment, I carelessly left my portable on the roof of my car and drove off without noticing.  I discovered my mistake when it took off like a flying wing when I got up to about 50 on the expressway... so Adobe problem solved, the machine was smashed and I had to get a new one 😕 (or possibly 🙂 )

Guys!

I just did a procedure here that worked!

I've installed the ADE 4.5.10 on my Windows 10 laptop a long time, and the ADE was always starting a blank screen (stucked); the computer was authorized a long time too. Also, when I tried to access the "Leitura (PT-BR)" menu (would be "Reading" in a EN version), next to the Help menu, the ADE just shut down.

FIrst, I removed the program ADE 4.5.10 from Windows, and installed the ADE 3.0, available on the website, but I got the same error as stephaniel (Jan 10th 19), when trying to open an acsm file; the "check activation" error.

Then, I installed the ADE 4.5.10 back to Windows, removed the authorization (of my laptop) and authorize the computer again (both on ADE 4.5.10). It didn't work.

Last, I removed the authorization for my laptop (on ADE 4.5.10), and restarted the ADE 3.0, that started without the authorization, and authorized my laptop on ADE 3.0. Finally I could open my acsm files withou any problem.

Resume:

1-) Remove the computer authorization on ADE 4.5.10

2-) Install ADE 3.0

3-) Authorize you computer (with your Adobe ID) on ADE 3.0.

4-) Open you e-book (I was using an acsm file).

Hope it works for you too!
