I have to keep re-activating fonts

For no seemingly obvious reason, and quite randomly, my fonts wont activate when I open Illustrator. I have to turn off "Enable Adobe Fonts" in CC and then turn it back on. This is getting very frustrating -

    Adobe Creative Cloud is an absolute disaster. Its failing on a weekly basis, and the program i unable to acces the nessecarry fonts. Its a nightmare to have to logout og login multible times in an attempt to reactivate the missing fonts, because of a malfunctioning Adobe Creative Cloud.

    Font activation bug persists on Windows 10. Even after the upgrade, I'm still constantly having to deactivate and reactivate Adobe fonts to get them to display. Eventually the problem fixes itself, but it wastes lots of time every time I open the program

    Yes, this cloud font library is a good idea but also a really really annoying thing...
    I have almost everyday issues with the syncing from the font I am using in projects.

    It is shown as missing, I have to go back to the font library, desactivate it, activate it, and pray it will work. Sometimes it works (after a few tries), sometimes it doesnt. Then restarting Illustrator may be a second option but can also be a fail. Log out, log in again, restart computer...
    Lot a time wasted.

    There must be a way to download/use the fonts locally if it doesn't get better soon.
    It ain't possible to work with this kinds of bug.

    Thanks for your attention,
    Best reagrds,

    I activated 2 new fonts from adobe fonts website and it worked well.
    After that I closed Ai and next day when I opened Ai again then it's showing missing fonts and there is no way to activate them from Ai.
    I have to start creative cloud app always to reactivate these fonts. This is very annoying and killing a lot of time. Also it takes ages to start creative cloud app even on fast internet connection. This also needs improvement.
    Once the fonts are activated - isn't that installed locally on my machine? Why every time it needs to download or sync with cloud?
    please urgently provide the solution to this critical issue I am facing and a lot of others as well.

    Thanks !!
