Dreaded white screen of death in Creative Cloud Desktop App

So... this is all over the internet but no solutions have worked for me.  Creative Cloud Desktop App only displays a blank, white screen - and when you mouse over it, you can see that the pointer is furiously refreshing.  Please.  I desperately need help with this.

 

  1. Uninstall everything - reinstall everything: no change
  2. Sign out all sessions: no change
  3. Erase all Adobe credentials in the certmgr and Credential Manager (a million of them): no change
  4. Checked for special characters in my user profile: no change
  5. Reset IE Settings: no change
  6. Uninstalled IE and MS Edge: no change
  7. Dropped Firewall completely: no change
  8. Repair Creative Cloud:  no change
  9. Uninstall and reinstall Creative Cloud: no change
  10. Copied and Deleted the \AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE folder: no change
  11. Deleted the new OPM.db: no change
  12. Downloaded and ran Creative Cloud desktop app uninstaller: no change
  13. Ran Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool: no change

 

Does anyone have any idea?  Please help.

But as a followup - After I used the double-super-secret creative cloud removal tool, I DID run the installation package with "Run as Administrator."  Didn't work.  But I forgot to document that.

 

THANK YOU!

The solutions on this page did not work for me (it was item #3 on my list of things I tried)

I followed the instructions on this page exactly, and there was no change.

Does this mean anything?

I haven't seen the 'Unable to start a DCOM Server' message before. When does it show up?

It was in the event log, immediately before a crash that immediately shut down the computer.

I did a Google search with that error and came across the forum discussion below:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/ibaf7t/crashes_since_last_update/

One response guessed it may be a hard drive issue and suggested "Have you tried running sfc /scannow and DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth in an administrator power shell (right-click the start menu to find it)? These check for any corrupted system files."

Have you done any Windows updates lately? If you can recall any changes made since it was last working correctly, that may give some clues.

For some reason, today, everything started working again.  No idea why.  Certainly nothing that I did.

In the past I had graphics rendering problems following certain Win updates which were subsequently fixed in another update. Did you receive a recent Windows update?
