Please don't post Crash reports in the forum. Makes threads unusable.
What's in the file?
Where did you save it?
Did you already rebuild the preferences?
Is a printer connected and turned on?

Can you try and delete the contents of the OOBE folder as described in here:
Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app doesn't open or shows a spinning progress wheel
If that doesn't work, please contact support.

Ive done both of those things. Customer care couldn’t figure it out. It works on the root profile, just not my personal profile

I did try try that and it did work. But I would hate to lose the stuff on my profile or try to get it moved over. Any suggestions for fixing the profile?
