( Edited by moderator: This issue is now 'Solved' )

 

We have multiple Citrix desktop servers with recently updated Creative Cloud Desktop where users upon logging immediately get a pop up error "Adobe CEF helper has stopped working".  Server OS is fully patched Windows Server 2016DC.  Application error log indicates offending module is kernelbase.dll

We now have an update available for the Creative Cloud desktop app (v 5.4.2.541), please click on this link to download the patch and install it to resolve this issue. 

Admins can create a package that contains the Creative Cloud desktop app from the Admin Console and deploy it to affected devices.

 

Let us know if this helps.

Does anyone know of a way to stop users from being able to have the ability to update the CC Desktop app? Most of ours have the auto update option turned off on their preferences, but some of them still tell it to update when CC pops up the message telling them there is an update available. I've love to be able to disable the app updates all together if possible temporarily. Thanks.

We also located the Acrobat Pro DC installer which will install Acrobat DC Pro without Creative Cloud Desktop.

Hope this information helps

I posted the original issue.  In further troubleshooting we are deploying Citrix desktops with Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops 7 LTSR 1912 Update 1.  The VDA is installed on Windows Server 2016 DC.  A recent update to Creative Cliud Desktop initially caused the issue.  We are not using Creative Cloud Desktop and only use Acrobat DC Pro.  The only reason we have Creative Cloud Desktop is due to the fact it in installed by default when installing Acrobat DC Pro from Creative Cloud.  I found a Creative Cloud Desktop uninstaller at the following link:

https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

 

We executed the uninstall option, and the uninstaller said it completed with errors.  Upon reboot of the VDA we are no longer receiveing the Adobe CEF Helper error and it did not impact our Acrobat DC functionality.

I also have this problem on a Windows 10 LTSB 2016 1607 installed in desktop PC.

The Creative Cloud could not open and even can't uninstall.

I believed that upgrade to LTSC is not an official solution. Please help.

Hello, 

I think the engineering team was able to find the root cause of the issue and it will be resolved in the next update for all environments.

That would be great.

Do you know when the next update will be rolled out?

 


Hello maxg13611796,

Same issue here.

Windows 10 1607 build 14393.953 physical machine.

This is a corporate SOE so an upgrade is not an option

Hi Everyone, 

 

Sorry to know that you are unable to use the Creative Cloud app due to this error, we are seeing this issue is only pertaining to Windows 10 LTSB 2016 version. 

Please upgrade your system OS from Windows 10 LTSB 2016 to Windows 10 LTSC 2019 and check, this should help resolve the issue. 

 

Let us know if this helps.

We can not upgrade our Windows server version because of license compatibility. We need asolution for Windows Server 2016.

Team,

This might be a VIRUS pretending to be Adobe CEF.
We are doing full scans for our virtual servers in AWS.

Hello Everyone, 

Kindly check the system requirements and supported environment of the creative cloud desktop app:

If it is a physical machine, then I would recommend install the pending OS update and check if the issue persists.
