Creative Cloud Freezes - M1 BigSur

[omars25720663]

Hello,

Creative cloud just freezes once i open it, like i can move the window, but cant click on anything.

Tried: uninstall, clean,repair, reinstall,installed the m1 version, restart device, cursing..nothing worked.

first, reset the cc app:

to reset the cc desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

if that fails, try to repair

if that fails go ahead and uninstall/reinstall per the above link

if that fails, do a clean cc install following each applicable step:

uninstall every cc app including preferences, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html
then uninstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html
clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html
check for, and if available, update your os
restart your computer (don't skip this)
reinstall the cc desktop app, https://helpx.adobe.com/uk/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

I have exactly the same problem. Once I reinstall, clicking my mouse does nothing therefore I can't go anywhere. Installation worked last week

Try System Restore?

same problem here.. tried uninstalling everything, restarting, reinstalling everything.. issue remains..

[kglad]

did you run the cleaner and do everything recommended above in the correct order?

[driesr3059280]

Yes I did. Three times 🙂
I got tired of it, so I searched for files containing 'adobe' in the name and deleted them all. All application support, all apps, all cache, everything. Than restarted and installed again and now it works.

Ofcourse I loose all my preferences and settings 😞
