How to stop any adobe background processes. After installing creative cloud, to my dismay, and I'm sure many others, when you start your pc adobe applications are open in the background even if you explicitly tell creative cloud not to to start on launch in my task manager and in the creative cloud. This is a major design flaw, NO ONE should have to scour the internet for hours on how to disable them starting on launch. Despite all my time looking I could still not find an answer anywhere. Adobe needs to get their act together because this is ridiculous, background processes that can not be easily disabled (or disabled at all, Im assuming there must be some convoluted way to do it.) on startup is moronic. We're already paying an arm and a leg for your product, you could at least make the disabling of these applications easy to do. Of course this is adobe were talking about, logical changes arent what we're used to, just a flashy new ui for after effects each year.
