Adobe Creative Cloud

I have used Adobe and their creative cloud service on my home PC for many years without incident. The PC works well and I have had no issues until recently. The windows update before last stopped the Adobe Creative Cloud connecting to the Adobe server.
I rectified this by stepping back the Windows Update and then reapplying it - all was well. Following the last windows update the exact same thing happened but I didn't realise soon enough and there was no step back available before the update.

I have contacted Adobe on this and I have had literally 5 different technicians trying to rectify this for over 12 hours over the last week and still we cannot get PC to connect to the Adobe servers. We have tried everything!!

Before I go for the nuclear option of reinstalling Windows 10 entirely hoping that this will rectify the issue does anyone have any suggestions
