Unable to create or open files or save changes to a new file in Adobe Express. Designs are opening blank, and the app is stuck on the loading screen. |
Check the firewall and network proxy settings: If your organization has configured firewalls and network proxies that block access to essential Adobe services, it can cause issues with Adobe Express, such as the editor not opening correctly or changes not being saved.
