WTF Happened?! In the latest auto-updates

[Russo5150]

So, 10/20 - my computer acted like it had a virus, well found out all my Adobe Cloud apps were redownloaded?! My icons were disappearing and other icon appearing.. Now I'm having issues with Adobe After FX and stuff with uninstalling; The apps say they have been removed. But the apps are still installed. CC won't load up.. error when I try a run a uninstaller of CC app. What in the world is going on Adobe?!

are adobe programs that only things that are misbehaving on your computer?

if no, you should run several antivirus checks and anitmalware checks.

if yes:

first try, resetting the cc app: To reset the Creative Cloud desktop app, make sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R

if that fails, try to repair

if that fails go ahead and uninstall/reinstall per the above link

if that fails, do a clean cc install following each applicable step:

uninstall every cc app 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
check for, and if available, update your os
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 4 here, https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-missing-damaged.html)
use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

Thanks! I'm installed 17.1.4 version of After FX (getting rid of the 17.5) and everything is fine. I was able to render, the problem ran alot better. Everything is working now! I'm happy! I was able to upload my little gallery for my welding company's DSS -
