Adobe Digital Editions 4.5.10 not responding in Windows 10

[stephaniel44346648]

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".

Hi.

I had the same problem that ADE 4.5 suddenly did not work. Clicked and clicked, just nothing happened.

I tried reinstall older version using my old downloaded file, and it did work, but the display was horrible, looked like picture rather than texts.

Just now, I reinstalled ADE 4.5 on drive D, instead of the default drive C, and I keep the My Digital Edition library still on drive C.

Now everything is back as before.

You may want to try and see if that solves your problem.

Have a great day.

Just did that and it is indeed working fine. I have been trying to get ADE working for months. Thanks Ray!

It works for me, less than a minute. All by just renaming the existing folder to OLD and then create a new folder with the existing name. Thank you!!!

Reinstall the ADE in another folder (directory):

Hello Guys,

It seems we all have been facing this issue ever since and I have noticed something during the installation. I am one of the culprit who had bad experience with Adobe Digital Edition ever since and I have experence the the application doesnt open up though it shows opened icon in the task bar. 

This is what I did to recover the situation.

1) Uninstall the exsisting Adobe Digita Edition.

2) Backup the .pub files and deleted the Adobe digital folder in My Documents. ( default location ) 

3) Restart the machine.

4) Reinstall Adobe Digital Edition 4.5.10 in "   C:\Program Files\Adobe Digital Editions 4.5 " . ( The fishy thing is the application try to install in " C:\Program Files (x86) " folder by default , but i changed the path to x64 folder )

then it worked fine.
