Problem with Creative Cloud Desktop app since update to Windows 8.1

Hi, I have updated my desktop and laptop to Windows 8.1 over the past day, and have noticed a problem with the Creative Cloud Desktop app.
Some menu items when I right-click on either the CC system tray icon, or click on the Settings menu icon in the app interface itself do not show.  I've included a screenshot of the problem.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the desktop app, but this has not worked.  Any ideas?

I am experiencing issues similar to the post above, with smaller floating windows but no dialouge. I uninstalled creative cloud desktop then re-installed- Issue is partly fixed, but now I get this:

  • Problem with Creative Cloud Desktop App in Mavericks

    I have posted a couple of times about this but no one seems to be answering. There seems to be a bug with the Creative Cloud Desktop app and Mac OS Mavericks.
    I have the newest version of them installed on a brand new MacBook Pro and I have had problems ever since with the connection to the Creative Cloud when I wake the MacBook Pro from sleep. Often I will have a red exclamation point on the icon in the menu bar because it can't connect to see if there are updates to the apps. Or the Behance tab will show that the last time my Behance feed was updated was a long time ago.
    If I quit the Creative Cloud application it will connect with no problems and update the Behance feed and any apps that need updating. But once I put the MacBook Pro to sleep and wake it again I have the connectivity issue.
    This is becoming a huge pain to have to quit the Creative Cloud all of the time. Would someone please offer up a suggestion. Is this a known bug that Adobe is working on? If not, how do we let them know about it?
    I have tried re-installing Creative Cloud but that did nothing. This didn't start happening until I got Mavericks on a new laptop.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Doesn't Work Windows 8.1

    The Creative Cloud Desktop App doesn't work on my PC running Windows 8.1. As shown below, no apps appear and the settings dropdown does not function with either left or right click. I have tried to uninstall, reinstall, change the name of the OOBE folder, connect directly to my cable modem by passing my router, removing all internet & firewall protection and I am unable to download any CC apps that I do not have on my PC. I have been updating existing apps from the help menus in the apps and have not used the CC app for downloads for a long time so I do not know when the problem started, but it does not work now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Automatic updates are also not working.
    Thanks,
    Barry

    Turning off "Enable Protected Mode" in the Security Tab of Internet Properties allowed the Creative Cloud Desktop App to function properly. I am still looking for a better long term solution that does not put my computer's security at risk.

  • How can I get the Creative Cloud Desktop app To work on Windows Vista?

    Currently My CC Desktop app is a greyed out icon.
    It has been on and off for months now.
    I have called technical support several times and been directed to
    1) Uninstall it
    2) Run the cleaner
    3) Turn AV Software off
    4) Delet my prefrences
    5) Delet Hosts file in Windows 32 folder
    6) Restart, Restart,
    7) Use a diffent User account. etc.
    The apps work= PS, INDD, AE, PROJ, AI, DW, Fla, etc.
    But the Creative Cloud Destop app does not. I have to use the web browser to upload or sync any files.
    Anyone have any other ideas I welcome them.
    My specs,
    Running windows vista, on a very good HP machine.
    I have been a loyal Adobe Customer, For more than 15 years.
    I have been an Adobe Certified Expert for 3 years or more.
    I work professionaly with this software as a teacher. I have taught this software to college grads. and now to highschool students.
    Ususally Adobe is one of the best companies to deal? Please stop farming your support calls to other countries, The connections are poor, and the support is terrible and it is damaging your reputation.

    Hi D2xS-Shooter,
    I am afraid Creative Cloud desktop app is not compatible with Windows Vista. If you run into problems there are very limited resources from Adobe to assist.
    Creative Cloud is a collection of apps with various different tech specs

  • After I restart my computer, Adobe Creative Cloud desktop app fails to open (Windows 7)

    I started having this problem pretty late last night. Some of my applications still work -- Audition, Premiere, Media Encoder, and Lightroom -- but After Effects, Photoshop, InDesign, Acrobat and Illustrator also fail to launch. Some display a generic "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You  may not have appropriate permissions to access the item." Other's don't, displaying a blank white icon next to the program file name.
    I have uninstalled/reinstalled everything (including Windows 7). To be clear, Creative Cloud *works* after I reinstall it, but as soon as I reboot my computer or restart in order to reinstall other apps, I only see the image below. I canot edit preferences or view updates and requests. I then have to uninstall creative cloud and reinstall in order to get it up and running again.
    I'm baffled. No clue why certain apps load and others are damaged or something, and it seems there's no work around native to Adobe.
    Aother piece of perhaps relevant information; WIndows installed a critical update on Feb. 23rd (day before I started having this issue). Might be relevant, but I've since re-installed windows and in the interim period between that update and my first failure, I was able to access Photoshop and After Effects.

    Unfortunately, that did not solve the issue. Renamed the file and was able to download new programs. I was even able to use them (after effects and photoshop), but when I restarted, they were lost again. Now Audition doesn't even work. I get this message: "Adobe Application Manager, required to start your trial, is missing or damaged. Please download a new copy of adobe application manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager.
    So basically, everytime I restart my computer, I have to download the cloud desktop app, install it, then install whatever programs I want to use. Then I can't restart or else I risk losing them and have to do the process all over again. Desperate for a solution on this one.

  • Problem in Creative Cloud desktop app filtering: can't find After Effects CC(12) version

    I need to export a CC(2014) After Effects project in CS5.
    I've saved in CC(12) version but now i need After Effects CC(12) to be able to save the project in CS6.
    If i filter by "all versions" or by "audio/video" i see After Effects CC(2014) but if i filter by "previous versions" i see only Edge Animate CC and Gaming SDK
    No way to see After Effects CC(12)!
    Maybe because i'm using the italian version of Creative Cloud? I don't figure out how to change the Creative Cloud language, if i change language in english (in the Preference / Apps tab) this affects only the language of the downloaded apps, not the Creative Cloud itself... DUring the installation process of Creative Cloud there isn't any choice to select a language...
    Why a simple thing like this is getting so hard...

  • (2014) Creative Cloud Desktop App updates

    I noticed in the recent Creative Cloud desktop apps the updates indicate in (2014).  Are these apps actually different than the old CC apps for Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator or once the update takes place the old update for the app without (2014) will fall off?

    I do not know if this applies to any other Mac users, but, since this happens on my Mac (2009, so maybe that is a problem) every time the desktop app has an update, but the update will not install (ever since THE VERY DAY CC 2014 went live)
    the magic bullet seems to be —
    After getting rid of any trace of CC Desktop App
    Delete Adobe Application Manager Folder (Applications ==>Utilities Folder ==> Adobe Application Manager)
    Install new download of AAM
    Install new download of CC Desktop App.

  • Cannot install Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point.

    I have a brand new machine running Windows 8.1. I don't know much about specs, so if you need more information on my setup, please tell me where to find it.
    I cannot install the Creative Cloud desktop app. It just freezes at a certain point. I had this problem many months ago. I had a chat with someone from Adobe, and they had no clue what it was. I then called in and the phone was basically passed around from person to person trying to figure out what the issue was. They took over my screen, they tried all of the stuff that I read in the forums. Eventually I asked for the highest up person in the office and that person found a workaround that has been working for all these months.
    However, now that I tried to update the Creative Cloud desktop app, the update froze around 40-50% each time, so I uninstalled the Creative Cloud desktop app, then tried to reinstall it. Now I have the same problem that I had many months ago where when I double click on CreativeCloudSet-Up, and it says it's downloading, it freezes very early on and just sits there. No error message, just sits there forever until I kill the process. I can't even cancel it properly.
    I have very slow internet. I don't know if that has anything to do with it, but I've been downloading all the CC apps directly from the internet, but since I'm paying nearly $60 a month, I'd really like to have the CC desktop app. I'm sick of downloading each update manually off of websites.
    I have read every thread, empty or packed full of replies, and none of the suggestions seem to help me. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing, but I really don't think that paying $60 a month should require me to fiddle with a bunch of files and cleaners, etc. I can't believe this problem has not been solved yet.
    Could it have something to do with my computer? Or is my internet provider blocking something from Adobe? I have no idea and I'm honestly so frustrated. I come home from work everyday and spend the rest of the night trying to fix this issue, and I'm sick of it. I won't call in again, since it was a disaster last time. I was on the line for over 4 hours, and they still didn't properly solve the problem.
    I am 100% desperate and tired of this.

    Nothing? Is there no solution to my problem? Do I have no other option other than to cancel my subscription? Pirating Adobe's software would cause me a lot less hassle than this, and that's not the way it should be.

  • Error Code 201 and 213 when trying to install any Adobe application / Update my Creative Cloud Desktop App. Have tried troubleshooting with Online Chat Agents, no luck.

    I have been trying for 2 days now to get this resolved.
    Computer hashard wired internet connection, running Windows 7 Home Premium. No other issues with downloading or uploading from any other sites or programs. No other network issues reported on other computers.
    It started when I went to install Lightroom through my Creative Cloud. It prompted me to update my Creative Cloud Desktop App, which I went to do and then promptly got Error Code 201. I restarted my Creative Cloud and then skipped the update, hoping it was just an issue with that specific download. I clicked to install Lightroom and the same thing happened, Error code 201.
    I restarted my machine, and tried again. Same issue.
    I contacted Support. They had me go in and change a bunch of folder names to and add "old" to the end of them and then had me try using the Adobe Cleaner tool, which did not work. He had me go in and change some internet settings, still nothing. Same issues as before, only now with all the renaming of things I cannot even open programs I had previously been able to open like Photoshop.
    He instructed me to reinstall the CC Desktop App because the Cleaner tool was not recognizing that it existed anymore (probably something to do with renaming files.. just saying) and now I get the 201 Error when I try to reinstall the CC Desktop App.
    I ran out of time and had to stop after being on with them for over an hour.
    Today I contact back and was instructed to create a new user account on my computer and try downloading and installing the application in the new user. Same errors. 213 at first, restarted my computer and then got Error Code 201 again.
    I am getting really frustrated and really behind on my work. Any information someone could give me would be greatly appreciated. Currently waiting for a chat person to be available again.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.

    Meowia for Error 201 please see Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html.  Error 213 indicates there was problem locating the update or an incorrect URL.  The troubleshooting steps are still the same as both errors are related to failure of the current network connection.

  • Since I updated my Creative Cloud desktop App to its last version, my files are no longer synchronized. I received the "fail to synch files" and "server error" messages.

    Hi, Jeff.

  • Creative Cloud desktop app won't sync with CS6 applications

    I am running a Windows 7 64bit machine. I had been running CS6 and CC, but had developed a wide range of problems. With the assistance of Adobe technical support I removed all Adobe software from my pc.
    My plan was to do a clean install of CS6, apply all of the updates, and then decide if I wanted to continue with the full CC subscription before installing any CC software. The initial install went fine, as did a whole bunch of upgrades. Along the way Adobe upgraded the Adobe Application Manager to the desktop Creative Cloud app.
    Within Creative Cloud it showed an update to Photoshop CS6 (something to do with a Creative Cloud version 13.1.2). So I clicked on update and got an error message and the advice to uninstall and reinstall Photoshop CS6. I followed the advice. I then started Photoshop CS6 and selected the Help -> Updates option. It launched the Adobe Application Manager and I was able to install the update. So now I think everything is good with CS6 installed and up to date, and no CC software has been installed aside from the desktop app.
    BUT when I run the Creative Cloud desktop app it still show that there is an update for Photoshop CS6! Clicking on the update button generates a message that the update failed due to a download error.
    So my problem is how do I get the CC app in sync with my actual CS6 applications?
    My second question is do I need to uninstall AAM to preclude this happening in the future (and if so, how)?

    Then it would appear the updates have been applied successfully.  You may want to try implementing solution 2 of CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/aam-lists-removed-apps-date.html.

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager never self update correctly

    I have no idea what is wrong with the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager. I downloaded and installed it ever since I subscribed to Creative Cloud. EVERY TIME when there is an update to the Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager, it will prompt me to update which I did. However, EVERY TIME the update would fail and I would either have a broken CC Desktop App Manager or, started recently, it would prompt me to update again.
    The only solution I could find was manually uninstall CC Desktop App Manager and then reinstall it.
    Perhaps the CC Desktop App Manager is not needed?
