  1. Click the Creative Cloud desktop icon  in the taskbar (Windows) or Apple menu bar (macOS), to open Creative Cloud desktop app.

  2. In your profile menu, click Sign out.

  5. Restart your computer, and then repeat steps 1 through 4 to ensure that the LAN settings changes were retained.

  6. Launch the Creative Cloud desktop app and sign in to your Adobe account.

The Creative Cloud desktop app manages your account information using the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service. If this service is not running, your sign-in credentials will become invalid after some time has passed. By ensuring that the winmgmt service is running, your desktop app sign-in will work continuously. 

For more information on how to start the WMI service, see the following Microsoft documentation:
