This has been going on for the past couple days now. There are a number of forums posts about this with no fix from Adobe yet.

Re: Indesign: evented I/O for v8 javascript has stopped working

I've seen this when indesign or photoshop is open and problem started when updating the Adobe Creative Cloud app. This is affecting hundreds of users spread across multiple companies I manage.

I've managed to stop the error by doing the following

renamed node.exe to node.bak in the following locations:

C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2015\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CCLibrary\libs\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CCXProcess\libs\

Waiting for appropriate fix from Adobe as this is a wide-spread issue.

Just leaving this message here for when a fix is being released.
Thank you for the temporary fix with the node.exe renaming, but I'm a bit worried though, what will happen if I forget to rename the node.bak files back to their original names node.exe...

I followed peterk26211024 instructions on renaming all node.exe files to node.bak.

It works for now.

I have started receiving this error message as well. Would be great if Adobe can do an official fix for this. I'm working on windows.

Please try to turn off the firewall/antivirus because they block the node.exe, this seem to help in some cases.

Or you can try renaming the Node.exe (all of the ones on your system) Reboot and try again.

The Creative Cloud app updated itself automatically to 3.4.0.180 this morning.

Now every CC app is unusable because this error pops up constantly and takes over both my mouse and keyboard.

I'm using CC 2015 on a Win 7 machine.

This has to be fixed ASAP!

I have the same problem:

I am using Lightroom 6.0 (not creative cloud subscription) on a windows 7 machine.

I am having the same issue after Creative Cloud updated.

Photoshop is now also being effected by this issue.

None of the temporary fixes seem to have worked for me either

"The Fix" of Renaming or Killing the Node.exe

For example

Download node.exe from the nodejs.org website (32-bit | 64-bit) Tested successfully with the 32-bit
Backup the old node.exe by renaming it to something like node.exe.old, just in case. For me it was located under (C:\Program files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\CCLibrary\libs)
Copy over the downloaded node.exe to the same folder (See Step 2)
Add the exe to the windows firewall (Start Menu - Search "Allow a program through windows firewall")
Click on "Allow another program..."
Click "Browse..." and then navigate to the path in Step 2. Select node.exe and click "Open"
Click "Add" to add the program to the Allowed programs list.
Make sure all required boxes are selected. For me I just needed to make sure Domain was selected.
Open your Adobe product to verify the error popup no longer appears.

Don't want to jinx this - Followed the steps provided.

Rebooted, opened Photoshop, and Illustrator and have... Not had a pop-up in the past 5 min.

Now just for InDesign... Hold thumbs!

Thanks a Million!!!
