Open any program, work on a file, save the file, and click the X on the file NOT PROGRAM, it crashs

[SmittynKittyn]

Every time I am working in a program (inDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc) the moment I save the file and then close it, but do not close the program (you know the window with all your recent project pops up), the whole program crashes and becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit. I think it has something to do with the window that pops up with recent files but I am not sure. It started today after I did and update they suggested.

*Should note I am on a 27" iMac from 2011 so I can't update past Sierra. Either way, after updating today every time i close a file the program becomes unresponsive and I have to force quit.

first try, resetting the cc app. to reset the Creative Cloud desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press: Win: Ctrl + Alt + R Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

if that fails, reset each problematic program preferences -
