So last week I started noticing that my Creative Cloud desktop app wasn't opening fully, it is stuck on a white screen and a spinning loading wheel. I have tried every solution offered by the website, even some advised by acquaintances but to no avail. I uninstalled everything in an attempt to update my app since I was running Ilustrator and After Effects 2018, and now I'm pretty bummed with not being able to work anymore, I got a few projects due soom.
Has this happened to anyone? How did you fix it?

Thank you for taking the time to answer me!
Sadly, I have tried all of these and the problem is still the same... I can access my account and download apps on any other device I'm connected to, so I'm thinking my computer might be the problem here...
I don't really see another option but to format and try to install again on wiped device... Hopefully I can still get my work done on time.

reformatting and reinstalling should work as long as your computer meets specs, Adobe Creative Cloud system requirements
