Disable Notification Manager for Adobe Creative Cloud

so the solution was to delete the start menu item and just run in the backgorund anyways? lmao. you guys are just horrible.

thanks for the update @Kalvyn Rasquinha 

Hey folks. We're looking into near term options to shorten the name. Longer term, we're investigating options to reduce the app's footprint on the machine so the notification manager listing for Creative Cloud doesn't show up in the menu.

no argument there (from me).

@kglad -- Adobe and its syncophants certain do.

I think you can see, from this thread, and from several others on this site, and on Reddit, that a great many people think Adobe oversteps and has been doing so for decades, now. 

@whawn 

some (maybe most) users disagree.

That doesn't make it good.  It merely proves that Adobe just loves to annoy the heck out its customers.  It is NOT a needed process. 

Hello,

This is required to manage the notifications that Adobe servers send to your desktop apps. More details are here - https://helpx.adobe.com/in/x-productkb/global/adobe-background-processes.html.

Thank You

you're posting in an "ideas" forum.

I'm also constantly annoyed by this. Despite constantly uninstalling it, it gets reinstalled. I have EVERY form of Photoshop / Adobe software including CC disabled on startup and yet I'm still getting notification pop-ups every time about updates. Yes, this can be partially managed in the software but what doesn't make sense is why you'd allow the user to disable on start-up but push a pop-up notification anyway and force them to ALSO change the notification setting. It's like saying "Start on start-up" isn't entirely true. If start on start-up is disabled, to me, that means every single form of the application lays dorment until I start it or use something else that I want to start it.

As well, there are countless background processes started on start-up, even if the application is disabled on start-up. I'd like the applications or any processes to ONLY operate when I decide to operate them. 

Does anyone have any solutions for securing this application and it's processes to only run when the user wants it to run?
