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

Anyone have constant freezes when the Creative Cloud Desktop App is running?

Having a rather odd issue. I'm on CC 2014 latest versions. Mac OSX 10.9.5. Mac Pro 5,1 (12 core x 2.93, 32GB RAM, Nvidia GTX 680).
Having total system freezes (no error messages or kernel panic) when the Creative Cloud Desktop App Manager is running on a wired Ethernet Internet connection. Strangely, I get no freezes if I use wifi for my internet connection. If quit the desktop app, the freezing stops, as well. It's definitely locking up due to contacting Adobes servers in the background,
I did notice lots of errors by the Creative Cloud Application manager in the console, but apparently they are benign when using wifi. I'm guessing there is some kind of network conflict at play here, but I have no idea what Creative Cloud is doing in the background when contacting Adobes servers repeatedly.
Anyone else seeing anything like this?
Using wifi is an okay workaround, but I'd rather be on gigabit Ethernet.

Hi Elba, Thank you for your time and effort in researching this. Unfortunately, the above method you describe is more than a little awkward. When one shows the Downloaded window, as you illustrate, that greys out all the individual categories. So, if I were looking for brushes, I'd have to check if I already had it by going to the downloaded window, then navigate back to brushes by first going to Featured or Recent, and then to Brushes, (even All Categories is not clickable, though it looks active). I'd also need to have a very, very good memory, or be going back and forth very often, with how close some brushes appear, and how similar their names are.
Instead, in a browser window, I go to my library from my adobe.com page, so I can see what brushes I have while the window where I can download brushes is open:
However, this still seems awkward to me. Adobe could grey out the icons to indicate they had already been downloaded, while still allowing them to be clickable and downloadable. I guess more code would be needed. I see examples of this every day in both Apple's app store, and Google's play store. For that matter, even the Adobe CC desktop app itself informs me of what Desktop Apps I have installed on each computer, and even whether they need to be updated. I guess, though, the situation for all of those is a bit different, not being quite so cloud-based.

Creative cloud desktop won't load the "apps" section/shows download error/ have uninstalled & reinstalled/ also completed yosemite os install successfully to see if it was a compatability issue/but still shows download error on apps/ this only occurred af

I have a macbook pro 2010 & extra storage and drive space
I don't know what the link is between the new creative cloud update in january and the loss of my apps & downloading error after that update, to the desktop window?
Before that I hadn't had any trouble with the apps window..all the other parts are syncing and seem fine?
I uninstalled & reinstalled the creative cloud desktop
I installed the yosemite os x to see if the new interface was an issue...all was fine with the yosemite install
I have checked for the answer in the troubleshooting guide
nothing seems to apply at this point...
didn't know if anyone else was having the same difficulty?
Thanks

is this the 'unknown' download error or some other error? attaching a screenshot of the error if it's in english would be helpful.

Creative Cloud Desktop download utility running on Mac 10.8 fails to show apps/install apps

After purchasing subscription, downloading and installing the Creative Cloud Desktop Version (2.0.0.183) utility, I am unable to install a single app. When on the 'App' screen a spinning circle appears. I have tried reinstalling the Creative Cloud Desktop Utility many times, spoken with chat member who suggested deleting a database file in the OOBE folder, then restarting computer—none of these have worked. I have been struggling with this for over 5 hours, trawling forums with little success. I also have older versions of Adobe software (ie CS4. CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 which I do not want to delete).
I am running a Mac system 10.8, have 50 Gb drive space available and 32 Gb of ram.
Welcome any help as I purchased software subscription I cannot use.
Thanks

KlippyKlein it sounds like you have archived the Opm.db file located in /Users/<UserName>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE is this correct?
If so can you also try renaming the Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE to OOBE_Old. Once this is done please reinstall the Creative Cloud application from https://creative.adobe.com/.

Creative Cloud Desktop won't opening

Hi,
I'm having an issue with Creative Cloud Desktop ever since I updated to Yosemite. I've gone through customer support (which were useless by the way) and discovered that Creative Cloud Desktop works if I'm logged in as my Root user (System Admin) on my Mac but won't load in my normal account. I've gone through this link (Troubleshoot unexpected behavior | User account-specific | Adobe software | Mac OS) that the Customer Service representative gave me. However I'm still having the problems loading App.
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this issue?

>ever since I updated to Yosemite
Did you tell Apple that their update breaks Adobe software?

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.

Creative Cloud setup won't run?

I keep getting a blank "we've encountered the following issues" box when I try to run Creative Cloud Setup.
It doesn't even try to install anything it just shows this every time. I just bought CC and now I can't use it, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Tabi6120,
Please enable hidden admin account and try installing CC desktop from there: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/enable-the-hidden-administrator-account-on-wi ndows-vista/ .
If still the same error then try downloading from the direct link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-direct-download-links.html .
Kindly follow the very important instruction before download.

Creative Cloud Desktop Won't Install Issues on Mac OS X 10.8.4

I recently upgraded from CS6 to CC. First round of installs no problem. A week later there were a few updates including the CC Destop App and this is where the fun begins. I installed the updates and immediately after I noticed it was only showing I had 3 apps installed when I have several. I tried uninstalling the CC Desktop app and re-installing it but I can't get it to install. Every time I try it just says you have an "unknown error". I called Adobe's awesome support to which we ran throught diganostics only at the end to tell me they are having issues and to call back later. I have been all over the forums and have yet to find a solution, nothing works (Including runing the cloud cleaner and renaming the OOBE file).
I am running OS X 10.8.4 any other suggestions or help will be much appreciated

Romsinha! Thank you! I was having this problem and your instructions helped solve the issue.
Hi iChrisChatt,
Please try the mentioned steps:
1. Navigate to Applications/Utilities/Adobe Installer and look for CC desktop, if present run the uninstaller to uninstall it.
2. Navigate to Applications/Utilities and look for Adobe Application Manager folder and Creative cloud folder. If present move to trash and empty it.
3. Navigate to Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE and rename to OOBE.old
4. Download CC desktop from: https://creative.adobe.com/products/creative-cloud and try to install again.
Regards,
Romit Sinha
