Creative Cloud Unresponsive in Big Sur

[robmdavis]

I just purchased a new iMac with Big Sur loaded and knew there would be problems. I have fixed most but this one stumps me: The CC app loads but is unresponsive. I can scroll the icons but when I try to click on them I get nothing. Everything works fine in the online CC so that's my work around for now, but has anyone else had this problem and is there a fix? 

Thanks!

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
restart your computer (don't skip this)
reinstall the cc desktop app, https://creativecloud.adobe.com/apps/all/desktop?action=install&source=apps&productId=creative-cloud
if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use the link at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html
use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

This is good advice but did not fix the problem. Uninstalling all CC programs was not a good option so I did not try that, instead opting to just use the browser version.. Thankfully the situation resolved itself in fixes I made for other annoying issues in Big Sur (I think updating the OS to the latest version did the trick).

Thanks for trying.
