Today I received an update for the XD via the desktop app. The update process went well without errors, but since then XD is not starting. The program itself starts and remains white for a couple of seconds, and after that it shows the following message:
Please uninstall and reinstall the product.
If the problem still occurs, please contact Adobe technical support for help.
I uninstalled and reinstalled XD a couple of times and rebooted after every installation, but the problem still remains. Any suggestions on this? Thanks.
Hi, everyone-
I have exciting news to share! We just released a fix for this issue for our Windows 10 users. Please go to the Creative Cloud desktop app, click on the gear, and select "Search for App Updates." You should be able to download the fix and use XD!
Thanks,

This is an issue that we're currently working to diagnose.
Would you per chance happen to have a space in your Windows user name?

You mean after C:\Users\? Yes, I do.

I'm having the same issue, and I DO have a space in my Windows user name.

I'm having the same issue since the January 31st update. Any fixes yet?

I've got the same issue, no space in my user name though.
All my XD documents loading up blank.
Not a cool day for this to happen! On mega tight deadline!

Where I can find XD instalation file without this last update? I really need this!

I'm having the same issue and also have a space in my Windows username.
Can we get XD added to Previous Versions on the CC downloader, so if there is a bug we can at least still use the old one?

I've found this issue here which is exactly the same as mine (as it seems). It says that the reason for this issue is if you have multiple accounts on your computer, all the accounts must have the same XD version installed. I have only one account on my computer, which is the administrator, so I don't know if this is the real issue.
CoreyRLucier I also want to ask, what is the difference between the XD which I install from the desktop app and the XD that is available on Adobe Prerelease. I used to have the one from the pre-release site before XD became available on the desktop app, but since then I have removed it, cause I noticed that they were 2 different installations.

That issue is only where different versions are installed across different user accounts. I've tested the issue with spaces in your username by creating multiple additional user accounts and installing Adobe XD as a new installation - Worked fine on those without a space and crashed on those with a space.

So the solution for now is to remove the space from my account name?

That's a very difficult thing to do, it involves changing registry entries and can cause other issues in the system. If you need to do work in the meantime, I would create another user account and just run XD on that. Not a perfect scenario but at least you can still use XD somehow.

Yeah I know how it goes, I was not planning to do that. So, just waiting for another update. Btw I tried the pre-release version (0.6.15) too and has the same issue.

I've just found that files do open, eventually, after roughly 3 minutes? I just left the screen white in the background and eventually the file loaded. It's not a file size issue, as its the same with brand new tiny XD files. Once they are open, they work fine, but saving them again takes some time.
Not sure if that helps anyone...

Hi! I had the same problem. I try a lot of ways to solve it, but really what helped me in this situation is to create one more windows account without spaces (only email) and than install the XD app. You should know, to install the app on other account, you must uninstall it on the previous and it will work. I will be glad if my information helps you.

Hey, that maybe works, but that's a temporary solution which is not accepted by me. I mean, I pay a monthly subscription for Adobe CC applications and services so I'm waiting for a more "official" solution.

Cool news if it works for those with spaces in their names - however, as predicted, it's made no impact for me.
I'm still having the same issue; The app launches with just a blank white screen. It eventually fully loads between 2 and 10 minutes later. Then I have to wait again for a file to load. Saving then takes an age too.
It was fiiiiiine before...

Hello Elaine Chao,
I just uninstall and reinstall the latest version of XD and I still can't open my files.
I have the exact same message asking to uninstall and reinstall the product.
Any suggestions on this?
Thanks.

Hey, benoitb65187475-
There's another problem that some people might experience that has the same behavior. Could you be hitting upon this one?
