Creative Cloud not opening after installation

I'm trying to install Creative Cloud on my Mac. Installation finishes successfully, but then CC won't open. Not message or anything, just nothing happening when I want to open the programm. Have repeatedly deinstalled and reinstalled, deleted the whole Adobe folder in the library, run the Cleaner Tool. All did not help. If I check Activity Monitor, each time I try to open CC, a new AdobeCRDaemon task will start. Any idea what else I could try?

(Might be related to older Adobe installations I had running on my old machine, based on which I have set up my new machine.)

what's your os version?

did you download and then install the cc desktop app (as opposed using time-machine or some other migration method)?

first, reset the cc app:

Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

Thank you. Unfortunately, that are the steps I already tried (and just tried again, no success) (except for the first two, if I cannot open the cc app, impossible to reset). So still the same issue, cc app just won't open
