Creative Cloud Desktop app uses all resources then crashes

[Pete16B8]

I have multiple users workstations that can no longer run the Creative Cloud Desktop app.  I have uninstalled, used the creative cloud cleaner, and reinstalled, and it still uses up all resources then crashes.  This has been going on for months now.  Does anyone have a solution for this?

Hi,

Thank you for posting your query here and sorry to hear about the trouble you are facing. 

Please Open Task Manager and close all Adobe processes like Creative Cloud, CLibrary, CCXProcess, Adobe Update Service, Adobe Genuine Software Service, Adobe Acrobat Update Service, AcroTray etc.

Please download the Uninstaller tool for Creative Cloud App from the following link on the affected computer: https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

Please Open the web link : https://helpx.adobe.com/in/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

 And scroll down to the Section "Problems installing? Try alternative download links "

 And please Click on :"Windows | Alternative downloads"

 There you will see the Option for "Windows 10 (64-bit)" Please click on "Download" and try using the Creative Cloud App.

Please let us know if that helps.

I'll give that a try but I package the Creative Cloud Desktop app so that my users can manage their own software without needing to have administrator permissions.  As far as I'm aware using the alternative installers I will not have the ability to utilize that feature.

Sure, I understand that you might have created Managed Package for Creative Cloud App for your users.

I have contacted Adobe support and spent about 2 hours on a remote session with no solution.  They collected log files to send up the support chain, and I'm still waiting to hear back from them.  This issue has been going on since April and frankly I find it hard to believe that we are the only company having this issue becuase there is nothing unique about our computers.
