Creative Cloud Desktop refuses to work properly...

OK, so I decided to try this CC thing.  Ordered the subscription; went to the website to try and download an app....  It instead changed my app download to CC Destop install.pp installs, and bounces up a sign-in window on completion.  I sign in....  Bang, it crashes...
On chat for a really long time with support...  moving folders to desktop, renaming files, renaming folders, killing processes in Task Manager, using the Creative Cleaner.... yadda, yadda.
No work...  On reinstall, same failure, same message... although I did make it to the License Screen this time after signing in before it crashed with the "Windows... problem... Close Program" error.
Chat support guy says he thinks I should create a NEW Windows user and reinstall.... gives me a case number and bails offline out of the chat sess
So... OK...  I guess I have to do this by myself?  So...
I do as he says... create new user, reinstall... SAME results... EXACTLY....
So... I get pissed and serious.  I scrub the computer of any/every reference of ANY Adobe product whatsoever using the Creative Cleaner and various other IT Tools I own (I do this for a living folks).
NOW....  I have a scrubbed clean disk, registry, et al... no reference of Adobe whatsoever to be found.  I install the Creative Cloud Desktop...
When it pops up, I try to fool it by NOT signing in immediately....  I cold reboot the computer to make SURE the install is complete, et al.
On reboot, I open CC (it's already open in the Task Bar at lower right).  I sign in... yea, no crash.  I agree to the license...  Awesome, no crash.
I ACTUALLY see the screen where I can tell it that I want to download an app....  for a second...
CRASH!!!  SAME crash messages...
I would LIKE to get this resolved...
Please help!

OK...  so I just spent an hour+ on chat with Mohammed, and we made some progress.
Good news is that we got the CC Desktop App working and I am downloading Acrobat XI.
Bad news is that to get it to work, I have to uninstall my Intel HD Graphics 4600 display controller AND delete the drivers at the same time, which does at least 3 things:
Makes the Intel COntroller revert to using VGA plain Jane driver...
It makes it impossible for me to access my AMD Radeon 8790M graphics controller for app switching to high performance graphics.
It also apparently disables my High Definition Audio Device....  <apparently, the Intel Graphics and the High Def Audio are tied together somehow>
Now... here is some background.  WITH the Intel driver package installed for the HD 4600, CC Desktop fails and the Event Viewer shows the following error information:
It appears that CC Desktop wants to use C:\Windows\system32\igdumdim32.dll, but the problem is that this .DLL file does not exist at this location, and it is NOT bound to the Intel Display Controller.
System 32 has the 64-bit version of that DLL, "igdumdim64.dll".  The called DLL does exist in the SysWOW64 directory.
I am not smart enough to know how all this works exactly, but it is obvious that this is a "don't play well together" between the CC Desktop application and the Intel driver package.
None of my other x86 applications are having ANY issue with the display drivers... only CC Desktop.
It is NOT acceptable to have to use the basic VGA driver to make this work, and sacrifice the use of my Radeon and grap[hics performance on all of my other apps just to use this Creative Cloud subscription.
IF this can't be fixed promptly, I will have to cancel my subscription....

    Adobe Creative Cloud (Desktop) does not work properly. The application is blocked : it could not be launch neither stopped. I'm on MAC Yosemite OS, does anyone know how to remove it properly or to force its stop. It does not appear in the launched applications.

    I received no error message. The application was just trying to find applications unsuccessfully.
    I am using MAC OS 10.10.1
    I tried to uninstall the application  but it seems that a kind of deamon is still installed thus providing me to reinstall properly. Do you know where are the elements to remove in order to get my machine just like before ?
    Otherwise I would have to reinstall everything and this would be a pain.
    Thanks for your help.

    I can't sign in to my Creative Cloud  desktop application. It opens, I enter my info, and then, I have a message you are no longer signed in. I tried to close the app several times, and also reinstall it. Nothing doesn't help.
    Uploading is not allowed bacause Creative Cloud desktop does not work, fonts are missing because Typekit does not work!!!!!!!!

    Hello paulina,
    sometimes - for whatever reasons - CC doesn't "want" to work. In this case you should CC completely delete and reinstall by help of Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool, don't use your own resources, that's insufficient!
    I quote: ... helps resolve installation problems for Adobe Creative Cloud and Adobe Creative Suite (CS3-CS6) applications. The tool removes installation records for prerelease installations of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications. It does not affect existing installations of previous versions of Creative Cloud or Creative Suite applications.
    Please use: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html. Please follow the prescribed sequence of operations
    If necessary and for further questions and if "open" please use chat, I had the best experiences.

  • Why did my Creative cloud desktop app stop working!

    Why did my Creative cloud desktop app stop working! Ask me to remove and install it with a new download only for that to not fix or work!  Sending me around in circles! Very frustrating and annoying!

  • 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

  • Creative Cloud Desktop no longer works after update

    Ever since the last Creative Cloud Desktop update I can no longer use it - tyo check for updates etc I have to go to individual programs. All I get when I open CC Desktop is a blank rectangle. One can't avoid CC Desktop updates as the only option other than to install them is to quit the program. Any ideas? When are Adobe going to iron out this buggy software - or do they really just not care any more?

  • Creative Cloud Desktop App Broken

    Dear Adobe,
    I have spent the best part of 8 hours trying to get the Creative Cloud Desktop App to work properly on two different OS X machines.
    On one machine the process is running (activity monitor) with no visible signs of the app. no windows or icons in the menu bar.
    On the other I get the download error contact customer support message.
    I have had customer support control my machine and fail to rectify the issue (case number 185496471). I have tried all the fixes I can find such as deleting OOBs, enabling root and whatever.
    Please fix this now Adobe …. I have wasted enough time trying to fix this and I am too busy trying to produce graphics etc to do any more beta testing for you.
    kind regards
    Nic

  • 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.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop causes PC to hang

    Hi there,
    Up to yesterday, Creative Cloud Desktop (CCD) was working fine. However, yesterday when I tried to run it, it would cause my whole system to hang. All my apps would start working. I've tried the following:
    1) Stop all running applications and just run CCD. PC hangs and nothing works.
    2) Uninstall CCD and reinstall. CCD install bar would run to about 98% and then cause my PC to hang.
    3) Tried installing CCD with "Run As Administrator", same result at (2).
    4) Stopped my anti-virus and tried (2) and (3), same result at (2).
    Anyone else experiencing this? I am running on Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. Other Adobe applications are working fine, i.e. Photoshop CC and Lightroom 5.
    Would appreciate any help on this matter as I need to install Acrobat.
    Thanks!

    -- This has been a problem ever since creative cloud FORCED me to "upgrade" the creative cloud desktop app last weekend. 
    The Desktop CC app worked fine before the forced upgrade.
    The error looks like this on my screen...
    http://s24.postimg.org/rta8cf9dh/retry.png
    To solve the problem, you must explain how do I get the upgrade creative cloud app to read my correct log in info?
    I'm using windows 8, AND I've already tried the following...
    1. re-installing creative cloud from the creative cloud website (did it 4 times now)
    2. changing the folder "OOBE" to "OOBE_old" (did not work)
    3. I also tried installing this exe: PC: http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/creativesuite/cs/win/ApplicationManager7.0_all.exe , which did not work

    Using Windows 7, have Adobe subscription, cannot get the CC desktop Application Manager to work under any circumstances! This is driving me crazy, paying for the subscription, cannot update any programs, because I cannot access anything. I urgently need to finish a job where I have previously used a font I have in my typekit - but of course I cannot access the typekit so cannot get the font - this is urgent.
    Can someone please help - I have uninstalled all reference to Creative Cloud Desktop App, restarted computer, re-installed. Nothing, uninstalled everything - changed OOBE folders in both locations to _old, restarted, reinstalled, nothing. Uninstalled again, ran the CC Cleaner Tool, option 3, option1, renamed the OOBE folders, restared Windows, ran exe file again. Failes repeatedly. Comes up with a blank white space, blue wheel spins a few times then stops, and stays like that. If you click in the white space, then it just goes black!!!
