Creative Cloud Icon gone from System Tray

Explorer ,
Nov 02, 2019 Nov 02, 2019

Hi,

I've been using CC on my PC but the CC icon has just disappeared from the system tray (Not task bar).

I can launch CC and see updates and I can run my Adobe programs, but I liked to be able to open the list of programs and check for updates from teh System Tray Icon.

Any ideas how I can get it back without having ro reinstall anything?

Thanks

In the preferences for the CC DTA there is an option to Start, actually Launch, CC at Login ( that is startup logging into your computer).

Se that yo On, move the slider to the right.

So you are using Win 10, correct?

 

If you are Go to the Taskbar Setting and look in the Notification area > Select which icons appear on the Taskbar and Turn system icons on or off.

I have the exact same problem, that ACC looks like it's installed on my Silicone M1 chip MacBook with Mac OS Ventura, but the icon is missing from taskbar menu above. Also cannot found the app in the Applications folder (tree). It seems to be completely broken. How to manage to get back at it? Does anyone know what EFECTIVELY can do to solve this nut???
