Can't log on to creative Cloud just hangs

I have uninstalled Creative Cloud

Used the Creative Cloud Cleaner

Logged on as Administrator installed Creative Cloud

Then when I try to log on to the creative cloud it just hangs for ages.... Suggest a restart or click here for help.

Sometimes I get a box that suggests a repair or quit.... Repair does not work....

Extra info

I am running Windows 10

Previously when I used a creative cloud cleaner, my Avast scan said there was still registry files? Not sure if this info is relevant

Any advice appreciated....

Thanks.....

check your account to verify your subscription is what you expect and to verify your adobe id (used in the next step), https://accounts.adobe.com/

if your account shows

a. your subscription is active,

1.  sign out and then back in to your cc desktop application using the same adobe id above to verify your subscription:  http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/sign-in-out-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html

2.  if that fails, using a browser that allows popups and cookies,  contact adobe support during pst business hours by clicking here and, when available, click 'chat', http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/service-ccm.html

if your account shows

b. you have no subscription and you're paying for one

confirm that you can connect to the secure adobe servers.  for help with that and other common secure adobe.com connection problems read, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-network-issues.html

if you see the two logos:

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

Thanks for your reply, I have done the stages exactly as you laid out

Now when I log on I just get the Quit or Repair Message, which does not work when selecting repair.

I have then done an install as an admin and then got the same message..

Extra info that may be useful

As a side note I disabled my firewall and antivirus whilst trying to log on (in case, though this never was a problem previously)

I have been using photoshop CC successfully for over a year. I only realised I had a problem when I had to log on to get an extra font...

Thanks for the assistance.....
