Can't update or install new updates. Doesn't recognize Windows 21H2.

I have Windows 10 21H2. All my apps now say they are no longer compatible and that an update is required. They say I need to "Update your operation system to: Windows 10 (64-bit) - Version 1909 or above.

 

Version 1909 came out in 2019. I have 21H2 which was released November 2021.

 

Seems like the Creative Cloud App is not able to detect Windows 10 21H2, thinks it is an old version, and doesn't let me update or install anything.

compatibility mode (with a non-current os) would do it.

 

right click your cc desktop app exe  > properties > compatiblity > untick compatibility mode > restart you cc app

the update specs are behind the times.  you need to update your os if you want to install and run most of the latest cc apps.

 

if you're happy with your current app versions, you need not update anything.

I wouldn't call one year old "behind the times". The issue is that the minimum specs for these apps are listed as Windows 10 1909. But it is not. So either all of the information displayed in the Creative Cloud App and websites are wrong, or the App itself has a bug in it.

the app is correct in that your os is too old for the latest cc versions.  but, you're correct, it is incorrect in its statement about what os is needed for the latest cc versions.

But my OS is not too old according to the minimum requirements.

I have the same exact version of Windows you do, as shown in your screenshot.

 

But I can't install or update anything.

I did your reset trick. And it looks like my Create Cloud Desktop app is running in "Compatibility mode". Not sure what that is, or how it got in that mode. But this seems to be the reason why it is stopping software from being installed.

That did the trick. Thank you! After running the app again it did an auto update and everything is working correctly now.
