Issues Running Adobe Products and Solidworks

Hey all,

 

So I'm running Solidworks on an HP Spectre X360, this laptop is also running Windows 10. When I first got this laptop I put the Adobe Cloud on it so I could also use Illustrator and InDesign. Solidworks was having an issue where it would crash all the time and it was believed to be from the Adobe Cloud. Adobe Cloud was uninstalled (along with the 90 bloatware programs Windows puts on their laptops) and now Solidworks runs fine. I really want to get Illustrator and InDesign on this laptop, but really don't want Solidworks crashing again. I know I can download just the programs from Adobe's site, but I wanted to know if this automatically installs the Cloud back on to the laptop? I also wanted to know if anyone else has run into this issue? Thanks!

I think it unlikely that SolidWorks was cause as issue, (presumably you have at least 16GB of RAM, which you need to run InDesign and SolidWorks)

I suggest you try installing Creative Cloud again, but maybe run Adobe Cleaner first.
