I can't export an FBX, load a new skin on a character, and I can sometimes open the pose window.
I've been having these issues intermittently for a couple of weeks now and have followed the official feedback to empty the folder found by typing %TEMP% in windows, and empty my windows temp folder.
I've done restarts and reinstalls but I'm still having issues, it is incredibly frustrating.
I recently did a clean install of my computer and that didn't fix it. Not sure what else I can do.

Any insight or help would be most appreciated.
MTM

many things can cause this but I suspect one in particular.

as a new user,  you probably installed a demo first,  liked the software then purchased and installed a full version.

chances are you've got registry entries that are conflicting between the 2 different softwares,  and simply uninstalling wont fix it because the regular uninstall always leaves behind remnants of an old install - so every fresh install comes with old problems.

I'd try first uninstalling any demos and the product you have of purchased items if you haven't already - then I'd give you a disclaimer about using the next software I'm going to suggest to clean your registry, because while I've never heard anyone have an issue with it,  that doesn't mean it can't happen - especially if for some reason your system is suffering some other issues such as malware or failing drive -  I don't know,  so use at your own risk... - https://www.ccleaner.com/  should you decide to risk it, the free version is enough to do this,  use the clean registry feature to remove any unnecessary registry entries -  make sure you create a restore point - clean your drive while you are there too -  and keep running both options till it's clean - sometimes you have to run registry cleaner a few times to get the gunk out. 

if you don't want this path,  then you may have to contact support directly via mesage / email for them to give you official instructions on how to clean your registry.

if you do try this,  and still have issues -  post again.  

Good luck,  I hope this helps.

@planetstardragon 
Thanks for the quick response and helpful insight.
I own CCleaner Pro (and other PC maintenance software) so I ran it to fix any registry issues. 
Did a restart for fun, sparked up CC and still no ability to save an fbx

I uninstalled every Reallusion program using the hub and ran registry fixes and did %TEMP% thing recommended by support. 
Clean and restarted cleaned and restarted.
Reinstalled Character Creator and pipeline, but i still have the same issue. I can't simply export an fbx.
This is weird because I can send a model to ZBrush via GoZ and it goes out and comes back. no problem. But I can't save an fbx to send to Unreal or Blender.
I have contacted support and they usually take a few days to respond so I thought I try the forum.
I'm not a new user just new to the forums, not sure what is going on here, it's driving me nuts,
Anyways, thanks for your help, I'll let you know if and how it gets resolved.

Do you own 3Dxchange pipeline version ?

have you checked the manual ? https://manual.reallusion.com/Character_Creator_3/ENU/3/Content/Character_Creator_3/3.1/17_Export/Exporting_FBX_Avatars.htm?Highlight=fbx

Yes I own the 3d exchange pipeline version.

I have been making characters in CC for over a year and have not had any issues.
I'll read the manual again but I don't know how i could be messing up: file-export-export to fbx, yet when I do that nothing happens. - argg!

I can export OBJ files and models to Zbrush but cannot export an FBX, which is the one thing I need to do. 
This has been an incredible time suck.
Anyways, thanks for your help. This is aggravating.

The issue has been resolved. Several uninstalls/restarts, registry clean up and reinstalls seemed to have fixed it. Weird.
