Adobe Fonts disabled but font still functional

For template programming reasons, I need fonts in a file to work off the actual font file stored locally, not the Adobe font. Files supplied by the client use the Adobe font, so whenever I open these files, the font reactivates. Whenever I change the fonts to the local font file, it's redded out as if the font doesn't exist or is corrupted:

I deactivated Adobe Fonts entirely--not ideal, but it worked... until I reopened InDesign the next day and all the Adobe Fonts are funtional again. Adobe Fonts is still disabled in Creative Cloud, but the fonts in the font list are still fully functional, which breaks my link to the actual font file again.

I worked around this by re-enabling Adobe Fonts, turning off the specific fonts giving me grief at the moment, then disabled Adobe Fonts again and finally, happy days. Until tomorrow when I inevitably have to go through all this again.

I hate when programs think they're smarter than I am. I don't just want, I need to use the local font file too make this template function for my client. Why, when there's an option for both a local file and Adobe font, does Adobe tell me the local file is nonexistent/corrupted? Before the above process, I went through the rigmorole of uninstalling that font file, reinstalling, redownloading, re-reinstalling... only to find out my file is perfectly fine and it's just Adobe thinking it's smarter than I am.

How do I stop this sodding Adobe font from reactivating every time I get a new file from my client?
