Error 195 Creative Cloud installation on Windows 10 21H2

I had opened a case with Adobe to try and figure out why Creative Cloud would not install.  Support came back and said that it was "error 195".  "System requirements not met".  Turns out that Creative Cloud is NOT happy with Windows 10 21H2..  We have to keep our system up to date for security requirements, so rolling back to 21H1 is not an option.  When is Adobe going to update its product compatibility?  Is there another way to install the software without rolling back to 21H1?  I've tried running via compatibility mode, and that didn't work.  I tried looking at the application.xml fix, and that file doesn't exist in our package creation.  Our user cannot get the software she's licensed for because of this issue.  I want to know when this will be fixed?

    Hi @Nicole2201585207z9 @ElectricMario this wont be fixed.

    Creative Cloud cannot be installed on 21H1, 21H2 and 20H2.

    It is documented here:

    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/operating-system-guidelines.html

    Specifically with 21H1, 21H2 and 20H2 due to LTSB branches are not supported.

    21H2 was released in Nov 2021. 21H1 is no longer supported by Microsoft.

      @ElectricMario 

       

      what do you mean by "Should i update my computer"?

       

      buy new hardware?  or update your os?  or something else?


      I Installed Windows 10 22H2 update and it still acts the same as before and no one even understands my posts anyway so it's a scam

      I've got a case with Adobe that was just closed.

      The results from support is that our Creative Cloud enteprise install is NOT  (error 195) compatible with Microsoft Windows 10 version 21H2.  Because of security requirements, we have to keep our systems patched to the latest levels.  WHEN will Creative Clouid enterprise be compatible with Windows 10 21H2?  I have a user that can't access what she is licensed and entitled for becuase of this.  I've tried installing in "compatibility" mode.   I looked at the application.xml "fix", but that's not applicable to the named license/controlled license version we have.    I'm frustrated and need this fixed asap. I need the engineers @ Adobe to either give me a work around or tell me another way to get the software installed.   Thanks.
