Adobe products are always spamming me when I want to get work done

Start lightroom.  Start photoshop.  Start acrobat.

Often I am trying to complete a task under deadline pressures.  Often I am already frustrated.  Also I am a bit neurodivergent and have attention issues and distractions bother me more than they might bother other people. (Acrobat is always the worse because I always need it when…  I am dealing with a paperwork nightmare!)

I understand that you want me to know that Adobe is always working to improve your products and enhance the value of my Creative Cloud subscriptiuo.  I get that.  But it is also like a round of Russian Roulette because there’s a certain chance each time that I’ll cancel my subscription.

Please, please, please, listen to this.  Can’t you just wait a few minutes after I start the application before trying to distract me with a message that’s going to make me hate you?  Like if you could try to pop something up after I complete a task and feel good about your product I might be very interested in hearing about how you are working to make it better and how I can get more out of it.

    Unfortunately, you didn't write what kind of messages they are. I suspect these are notifications from the Creative Cloud client. You can turn them off.

    See here: Turn notifications on or off in Creative Cloud desktop app | Creative Cloud

    If I’m wrong please give us more informations and post screenshot(s) from one (or more) of these messages here.
