Creative Cloud Desktop app flickers, mouse flickers and blank cc app when starting windows

Ever since upgrading from Windows 10 1809 to 1909 this issue has been present.

On reboot and signing into windows, Creative cloud desktop app will not launch properly. If I open the app its blank, if i stare at my mouse it flickers, if i go to task manager i can see multiple processes under creative cloud desktop app opening and closing constantly.

Things I have already tried

- uninstalling the app using the various cleanup tools on adobe's site.

- deleting everything from the oobe folder under my appdata folder for my username

- re packaging a new creative cloud desktop app.

this issue resides whether on the corporate network or not so its unlikely to be a firewall issue or anything like that.

this problem is ridiculously frustrating. and there is no way to get out of it apart from moving to a different computer. and there is no chance i am going to be migrating dozens of my users in our enterprise for this reason alone.

adobe- please help with meaningful troubleshooting steps! even if that means deleting a bunch of registry keys. just tell us what to do because the cleanup tools are not resolving the issue.

P3n, Uhpcw, and BenC have e-mail addresses related to an organization. The behavior described is similar to the behavior that occurs when using the Long-Term Service Branch build of Windows 10 used by organizations.

If you are encountering current problems with the CEF Helper, or the Desktop app, then please begin a secure chat session at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html so that direct assistance can be provided to resolve the behavior.

Thanks Jeff. I am the IT Administrator of my Organisation and we're working on delivering CC to our new Windows 10 fleet. This wasn't an issue a couple of weeks ago but yes they are managed corporate devices so it could be a number of layers causing this. I'm working my way through them. We are on Win10 1909 semi-annual channel. The signing out of all sessions didn't fix the issue. The issue is happening on physical and virtual endpoints VPN, Office or not home ISP only connected. I've raised a support case just now.

Do not count on Windows to be fully up to date when it comes to device drivers
Go to the vendor site to be sure you have an updated driver for your graphic adapter
•nVidia Driver Downloads http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us
•ATI Driver https://www.amd.com/en/support
There are also intermittent reports that the newest driver is not always the best driver due to driver bugs or compatibility issues, so you MAY need to try an earlier driver version

I am not confident this is a driver issue.

In any case I have packed and deployed the full driver pack update via sccm to a few end users. This has not changed anything at all.

The issue lies with the creative cloud software itself. the flickering of the cursor only occurs while creative cloud app is open. the moment you end the process the flicker of teh cursor stops.

what i find more frustrating is that we can't use any creative cloud apps or update them despite everything i mentioned above being done.
