So... this is all over the internet but no solutions have worked for me. Creative Cloud Desktop App only displays a blank, white screen - and when you mouse over it, you can see that the pointer is furiously refreshing. Please. I desperately need help with this.
Does anyone have any idea? Please help.

Try a new Windows user account with admin privileges?
Reinstall Windows?

But as a followup - After I used the double-super-secret creative cloud removal tool, I DID run the installation package with "Run as Administrator." Didn't work. But I forgot to document that.
THANK YOU!

The solutions on this page did not work for me (it was item #3 on my list of things I tried)
I followed the instructions on this page exactly, and there was no change.

I missed that in your list. Sorry to hear nothing has worked for you. If I come across other options, I'll let you know.

I haven't seen the 'Unable to start a DCOM Server' message before. When does it show up?

I did a Google search with that error and came across the forum discussion below:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/ibaf7t/crashes_since_last_update/
One response guessed it may be a hard drive issue and suggested "Have you tried running sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in an administrator power shell (right-click the start menu to find it)? These check for any corrupted system files."
Have you done any Windows updates lately? If you can recall any changes made since it was last working correctly, that may give some clues.

For some reason, today, everything started working again. No idea why. Certainly nothing that I did.

In the past I had graphics rendering problems following certain Win updates which were subsequently fixed in another update. Did you receive a recent Windows update?
