App updates not loading from CC

[Jack Strangeways]

PS v 22.5, Lr v 4.4, Bridge v 11.11, Lrc v 10.4, Camera Raw v 104 ...the New updates load 4 to 7% then stop, sometimes I get a message from Adobe saying: 'Apps loading slowly. We're working on it.' Any reccomendations? (Macbook Air 2015)

first, reset the cc app:

to reset the cc desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

if that fails, try to repair

Thanks kglad, I did the reset, then reinstalled CC. After reinstalling the cloud app I was able to update PS v 22, it took way over an hour. Months ago, to save space, I put 5 adobe apps in the trash without the propper uninstall, perhaps there's a way to do a proper app uninstall, after the fact. Thanks for your help ...js

sounds like you have it sorted but the full info for cc problems is:

if that fails go ahead and uninstall/reinstall per the above link

if that fails, do a clean cc install following each applicable step:

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
check for, and if available, update your os
repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired.
update your ms visual c++, if it can be updated
restart your computer (don't skip this)
reinstall the cc desktop app, https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop?action=install&source=apps&productId=creative-cloud
if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use the link at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html
use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

Thank you for your attention to detail kglad, I'll follow your reccomendations. It will take me about a week to do this because this is a busy period for me, but I'll get back to you with the results.

if everything is working ok, don't do anything more.

The Creative Cloud reinstall worked. At first PS updates took an hour, very slow. But today I did two PS updates and they were fairly fast. So everything is working ok, and I'm not going to do anytying more. Thanks kglad
