- Download & Install Creative Cloud
Always use Adobe Download first as priority when you require Creative Cloud.
Have issues with not being able to download Creative Cloud using Adobe Download, switch to using Adobe Alternative Download and obtain Creative Cloud from “Windows | Alternative downloads” dropdown, if still failing to download for you even then, you can make use of the Backup Download.
Adobe Account Required for Sign-In During Creative Cloud Installation:
This requirement by Adobe cannot be avoided and ensures you have access to your subscription and all associated services.
You can create a free account using your email or a temporary email (search “temp mail” on Google; any should work), or use an existing account. However, do not use an account with ongoing or previous subscriptions, or one that has ever started a trial (to avoid problems).
If you use a temporary email, make sure that you keep the temporary email inbox open long enough to receive your email verification from Adobe, otherwise, you might have to create a new free account later on if you are asked to verify your account and no longer have access to the temporary email.
During Install:
Ensure that you are logged into your device as an Administrator, if you are using a standard, guest, Microsoft, or local account, switch to an Administrator account.
If shown – Account authentication window – Quit your install and change settings to avoid issues during installation as here:
User Account Control (UAC) must be turned on, run Creative_Cloud_Set-Up.exe as Administrator.
If shown – Do NOT install Adobe Genuine Service (AGS) – if not shown, continue anyway.
Once installed go to Menu > File > Preferences and in the “General” tab disable the following:
Launch Creative Cloud at login;
Run Creative Cloud in the background after closing;
Automatically keep Creative Cloud up to date.
Once that is done go Menu > File > Quit Creative Cloud
- Download the latest Adobe Patch in the guide – extract ALL contents from zip
It is advised to fully disable your used antivirus as it can sometimes block the AdobePatch download.
Once you have the GenP.v3.5.0-CGP.zip file, right-click and “Extract All” contents.
⚠️ Possible Problem & Solution – Step 2
⚠️ Antivirus programs may sometimes block the download. You should disable your used antivirus before downloading. This will fix the issue of GenP not being able to be downloaded.
⚠️ Antivirus programs may sometimes delete or move files into quarantine. You can either whitelist GenP as safe or disable your used antivirus before extracting. This will fix the issue of .exe not showing in the folder after extraction.
Whitelisting GenP as safe is always the preferred option to use, however you can just disable your used antivirus for a temporary period if you prefer, always remembering to re-enable it once done afterwards.
Disabling Windows Defender: Go to Settings > Privacy & security > Windows Security > Virus & Threat Protection and toggle off the options there, if it is still not allowing it, you also need to go to Settings > Privacy & security > Windows Security > App & browser control and toggle off the options in Reputation-based protection
3. Patch Creative Cloud with AdobePatch
Note that you should be running AdobePatch as Administrator.
You are advised to always make sure that you close CC before patching by going Menu > File > Quit Creative Cloud to close it fully. However, if you did leave CC open when you use GenP, it will automatically close CC for you.
Open AdobePatch.v3.5.0-CGP folder and run AdobePatch 3.5.0.exe.
Go to Options tab and make sure “Always search for ACC” is checked, if it is not then check the box and click on “Save Options”.
For the other two Options, you can leave them as they are: Enable MD5 Checksum (Checked), Search for files only in Adobe/Acrobat folders (Checked).
Go back to Main tab and click on “Search” and wait for it to return the results.
Check the three files for ACC at the top.+
+ At a later date when you just want to repatch CC after updating it, you can uncheck all other files using “De/Select” and only check the three files for ACC at the top.
Click on “Patch” and let it run and finish.
The patch runs automatically and performs all the necessary actions (Do not touch anything until done).
You will know it’s finished when it switches to the Log tab (this is only informational; continue with the guide).
💁♂️ Every time CC gets updated, you must repatch it with AdobePatch again.
⚠️ Possible Problem & Solution – Step 3
⚠️ If you’re having issues opening GenP, ensure you’ve followed step 2 and either whitelisted it or fully disabled your used antivirus.
⚠️ Required files for patching are not shown after using Search; only Creative Cloud is listed:
Either click on the “[Click to expand/collapse all]” banner at the top, click on the “v” on the right, or double-click the Creative Cloud title bar.
⚠️ Fails to find CC or it takes a long time to search:
You can manually use “Path” to select Adobe Creative Cloud in C:\Program Files\Adobe, so the path shown in GenP is now set to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud, after which you do “Search” and “Patch” as mentioned above.
⚠️ Fails to find CC files needed for patching:
In rare cases, GenP fails to find your CC installation automatically and opens up a new File Explorer window requesting you locate the required files to patch individually.
If this happens, you’ll have to select the files manually; they are located in these directories:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\AppsPanel
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ADS
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\HDBox
- Open Creative Cloud > Apps > Install
You are advised to run CC as Administrator
Go to CC location: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\ACC.
Find Creative Cloud.exe, right-click on it, and select Properties > Compatibility.
Check the box for “Run this program as an administrator”, then Apply > OK.
On the side menu, if you click on “Apps”
You should now have the install button. Install all the apps you want, wait until everything is installed.
DON’T OPEN ANY YET.
Once everything you want is installed, go to Menu > File > Quit Creative Cloud
If this AGS popup is ever shown whilst CC is open – do NOT install AGS (Adobe Genuine Service), – check the box for “Don’t show again” and choose “Decline”.
5. Run AdobePatch on the installed apps
Note that you should be running AdobePatch as Administrator.
Open AdobePatch.v3.5.0-CGP folder and run AdobePatch 3.5.0.exe.
Go to Options tab and check that “Always search for ACC” is unchecked, if it is not then uncheck the box and click on “Save Options”.
For the other two Options, you can leave them as they are: Enable MD5 Checksum (Checked), Search for files only in Adobe/Acrobat folders (Checked).
Go back to Main tab and click on “Search” and wait for it to return the results. (it will look at the default locations in C:) – (The “Path” is if apps were installed somewhere else; most will never need to use this option).
You can de-select the respective paths if you have any programs you don’t want to patch.
Finally, click on “Patch” to run the patch on the apps and wait until it’s done.
💁♂️ Every time the apps get updated, you must repatch the respective apps again with AdobePatch.
6. OPEN THE APPS THROUGH THEIR .EXE and NOT FROM Creative Cloud directly
Be aware that you are free to pin apps and open them from the taskbar, start, .exe, shortcut, etc.
