Stop putting icons on my desktop.

Commenting that these are user-to-user forums aren't useful in any way. These issues have been raised on both the support channels you've linked to @kglad, but have yet to be actioned (a simple search shows some unresolved from more than 10 years ago). Perhaps if enough of us get behind this issue on a forum Adobe does look at (which is evident by replies from their employees in this thread) things might actually get done.

Every time my apps update, a handful will dump icons on my desktop, and there's no option anywhere to turn off the auto shortcut on those programs. It's not all programs though, so we know Adobe can actually fix this issue when they want to. If anyone has had any luck in finding a setting hidden somewhere in the programs or CC, that would be helpful (particularly if any Adobe employees know of this to be able to rectify a long held issue). An issue that has even made its way into university course textbooks as pet peeves of designers using the programs.

again,these are user-to-user forums.

 for applicable apps, you can make (some) suggestions to adobe here, https://helpx.adobe.com/ie/x-productkb/global/how-to-user-voice.html

27/01/2023 and Adobe has dumped icons on my desktop four times in the past week.  I am ****ing sick of deleting Adobe icons.  I've been a user for over ten years, but since I'm OCD about my desktop this is enough to make me start looking for another product.

Sort yourselves out

maybe they meant next release after the one that about to be released..

As of October 31 with the latest October 22 update which allegedly fixes the problem, the update actually added a shortcut to my desktop.

Hi @Spartan1986 and others, thanks for the feedback. We'll work to get you back to being icon free with the next release (5.10) of the Creative Cloud app.

+1 I have no reasons not to find an alternative program and now I have at least one in favour of doing so.

@kglad Your comment is pretty ambigous, as best I can tell you're saying "It happens to everyone but most don't care / see it as a problem"? Doesn't really help those of us who are frustrated by it.

while this problem isn't unique to those seeing it, most of us don't have this problem..

I'd like to add my two cents to this. Seriously obnoxious behaviour. No other app I've ever had behaves like this. Shame on Adobe.

these are user-to-user forums.
