Black screen in Creative Cloud app 1.8.0.447 on Windows 7

Hi!
After updating the Creative Cloud application to the latest version (1.8.0.447), I have a blank black screen in the Home tab of the application. The Apps, Resources and Behance tabs work as they should.
Also, I noticed that playing any one of the "What's new" videos that pop up when starting an installed application (e.g. InDesign) gives blank screen. I can hear the sound of video, but there is no movie or playing controls whatsoever.
Everything was fine prior to the update. I have not made any other updates in between the two Creative Cloud versions (no Windows Update, no new graphics drivers). I am using Windows 7 Enterprise on HP Zbook 14 with dual graphics (Intel/AMD).
UPDATE:  As i keep working, I discover more parts of the application suite that look similary (blank/black). Here's the new Adobe Color panel in InDesign.
Regards,
Jacob

Hello,
I had a simillar issue using my Notebook (Samsung Series 7 NP770Z7E-S04DE with Core i7 (3rd Gen) and a second graphics adapter (AMD Radeon HD 8870M). After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 i had really a lot of trouble because the OS update brought new drivers for both graphics adapters which obviously did not work together. I had to reverse the update because the notebook was not showing anything but the mouse cursor. Windows 8 had some other anoying bugs so I decided to ignore the warnings of my IT-Partner and Samsung and do a clean install of Windows 7 Pro. Since then I had the problem you, jacobwod, describe but I did not care because neither I used the Cloud-Space nor there were fonts available. Today I read your post and experimented with the settings. By accident I found out that enforcing the usage of the Intel-Chip (HD 4400 I think) for not only the creative cloud.exe but also a file called "adobe cef helper.exe" in C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\hex\" seems to be a solution. Thanks jacobwod for getting me on the right track.

  • Creative Cloud app: SideBySide EventID 80 error in Windows 7

    Since updating to the latest version of the CC Desktop app last week I've noticed in Event Viewer that I'm consistently getting an error each time I use my PC (running Win7 x64). I've never seen this error before and wondered if other Windows users have encountered it (known issue?) and how to go about resolving it. Here's the error log summary:
    Activation context generation failed for "c:\program files (x86)\Adobe\adobe creative cloud\Utils\Creative Cloud Uninstaller.exe".Error in manifest or policy file "" on line . A component version required by the application conflicts with another component version already active. Conflicting components are:. Component 1: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\x86_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0.76 01.17514_none_41e6975e2bd6f2b2.manifest. Component 2: C:\Windows\WinSxS\manifests\amd64_microsoft.windows.common-controls_6595b64144ccf1df_6.0. 7601.17514_none_fa396087175ac9ac.manifest.
    It appears that when the CC update ran, it installed (reinstalled?) Microsoft Visual C++ 2010  x86 Redistributable - 10.0.40219 and I believe that this has possibly caused the glitch, but I'm not certain. As you can see from the above log, this has something to do with the CC uninstaller: odd, as I'm obviously not trying to uninstall it each time I boot up the PC.
    Does anyone have any advice? Fortunately, this doesn't appear to be causing any problems in launching my applications, and I can open up CC desktop without any issues. I wouldn't even know about this if I didn't keep an eye on Event Viewer.

    Yes, there's no doubt that this error is being caused by the CC app, and like you, it happened after I last updated the app.
    I've tried a number of things to resolve this, including re-installing Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable, removing and re-installing the CC app, etc., but I continue to get this error message being logged by Windows more or less daily.
    I decided not to go to the lengths of the solution proposed by Vienna_Sydney because, whilst annoying, the error isn't causing any noticeable problems on my system (some folks who've had SideBySide errors related to other applications (notably Acrobat) have had system crashes so I count myself lucky), but I'm still concerned that I'm getting this error being logged on my otherwise perfectly functioning and well maintained PC, all thanks to an Adobe install. I'd like to think Adobe are on the case, but the CC app seems to be consistently buggy and I'm not holding my breath...

  • How do I hide or remove the "welcome" screen from Creative Cloud apps?

    I hate "welcome" screens, which just get in my way and force me to get rid of them. These are only features when I can permanently dismiss them, yet with the latest update, I appear to be stuck with them. Is there anyway I can make them go away? Ideally, I'd like to do this globally, because I never, never, never want to see them again.

    I'd like to know this too. Does this mean that it can't be disabled? That thing is so annoying. Please Help.

    It's not launched from the CC app.
    If you have Windows, look under Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CC
    If you have a Mac, look in the Application Folder > Photoshop CC

  • Trouble launching creative cloud apps. Subscription is activated but it shows trial expired screen.

    Hi,
    I am trying to launch creative cloud apps on 10.7.3 lion imac, but it keeps asking me to license the software, which I have already done. It even shows that subscription is active, but for some reason it keeps taking me back to the trial expired screen. I have already tried uninstallling everything and reinstalling, but that has not solved the issue. Creative Cloud seem to work just fine on my 10.6.8 macbook, but would not work on 10.7.3 iMac. Please help!!! I am so frustrated. I am paying for this and can't even launch an app. I am in the second month of this subscription. First month, everything appeared to be a trial and now it has expired. Now, when I try to license the software, it activates it for me, but it never launces the app. It takes me back to the trial screen. What should I do???

    I hit this same problem. The problem wasn't on my machine: No amount of tweaking locally would fix it, no amount of removing the apps, cleaning, and reinstalling fresh. The problem was on Adobe's servers, where my account had been tagged as being a trial rather than a paying subscription.
    The experience was tremdously frustrating, as most of the techs were worthless and wouldn't read the notes on what came before but simply threw out a random, inapplicable bugfix to try before handing it off to the next tech who would repeat the process. And there was no channel to get past them. Each time they'd tell me they were escalating the case, which became obvious as being a lie after a few weeks. No company has that many tiers of tech support. I was locked out of Illustrator for more than a month, waiting for late replies and meaningless "fixes".
    Eventually my case landed at the desk of an agent who actually cared and kept looking until she found the answer. Thank you, Sarika Behal.

  • Problems with Downloading Creative Cloud, Apps

    When I initially downloaded the Creative Cloud app itself, the download was incredibly slow.
    When I finally did get it installed, I kept running into more problems. When I first open the Creative Cloud app, it takes so long I have to go and do other work before I can come back and see that the Home tab has information in it other than being blank.  When I click on the blue Install Adobe Apps button, I get "Download Error" screens, sometimes with a wait with a spinning wheel first.
    I've already tried renaming the opm.db file, but that didn't help.
    I also checked, and the Behance tab is loading just fine.

  • Lightroom Creative Cloud app location?

    I downloaded the LR Creative Cloud app.  Where is the application on my Mac? No where to be found. I see LR5 in my applications folder, but no LRCCloud?  When I downloaded Photoshop Creative Cloud, the application appears in my applications folder.

    Just a quick update to my previous reply from 4:58am.   I downloaded/ installed LR creative Cloud on my iMac and it exhibits the same issue.  the LR splash screen appears for about 1/10 sec., and then it goes away.  The app does not launch.
