Back to square one with Adobe Desktop Service crash

After spending over an hour with Adobe support on a call yesterday I continue to have a problem where shortly after loading one of the CC desktop apps (After Effects, Premiere  and Photoshop primarily) the CC Desktop app crashes. Then after I close out my apps I have to sign back into my account in order reload them again later. The tech removed a bunch of files on my machine that he suspected were corrupted, reset folder permissions, ran the CC Cleaner app, and then reinstalled CC Desktop but I am still having the same issues as before. Below are the details regarding my setup and the error I am getting. I would greatly appreciate any help that the community can offer here.

OS Name : Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium

Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601

Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz, 2801 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 860M

The latest versions of all CC apps are installed.

Creative Cloud has stopped working

Also facing the same issue on my end too. I've made a post as well here (Creative Cloud Desktop app keeps crashing/restarting every 15-20 minutes ) which has a list of threads with the same issue and every single step I've worked through that hasn't fixed the issue. This is very clearly something to do with CC 2018 - I've run CC/CS applications for 7 years prior with no issues. Also working with a AMD GPU (someone mentioned it might be something to do with NVIDIA drivers).

I've tried talking to Adobe support but after several open cases I've been unsuccessful in resolving my case through them. The worst part is that often times reps will provide a method to try (which I follow, that's fine), but after I say it doesn't work the rep often disconnects and I spend another 10-15 minutes trying to find another rep to help me out. I've gone through every instruction and support page currently available but nothing seems to be working


Hi Thejoejay42,

As I understand, the Creative Cloud app crashes after a few minutes. Could you please share a few details with us?

* Mac or Windows

* OS version

* Creative Cloud app version

* Issue with only Creative Cloud app or other apps as well?

* Any self-troubleshooting steps tried?

Thanks

Kanika

uninstall everything cc 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://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud.

if you're unable to install the cc desktop app at this stage, use an administrator account (solution 3 here, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-missing-damaged.html)

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials
