i really hate the fact that creative cloud always runs on my pc, even when i turn everything off

Hi everyone,I’m using a Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 with Snapdragon X Elite (Windows 11 ARM 64-bit) and I’ve been running Adobe Creative Cloud, Photoshop, Illustrator (beta), and Lightroom without any issues until last week.Since a recent Windows update or possibly an Adobe update, none of the apps will launch anymore – not even the Creative Cloud Desktop app itself.When I try to start Creative Cloud (or Photoshop), I immediately get the following error message:“The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application.”Here’s what I’ve already tried – unfortunately without success:Completely removed all Adobe components using the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool (option 1 = “Clean All”)Restarted the systemVerified that the correct Microsoft Visual C++ 2022 Redistributable (ARM64) is installed (and removed all x64/x86 versions)Ran sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth to check system filesRe-downloaded the Creative Cloud installer and

Creative Cloud 6.8.1.861 under macOS 26.3.1: empty folders named ngl keep being created in /Users/Shared, typically within a day after I delete their predecessor.  Is there a way to keep this from happening?I asked this question in an Apple macOS forum, and was told that it was related to Adobe Creative Cloud Next Generation Licensing.  Can anyone here (or Adobe) help?  Again, is there a way to keep this from happening?

 How do I delete the automatic generated “AI generated content” comments in Adobe Acrobat that pop up when make “print” PDFs. The content comments AI makes is horrible! 

With real estate agents wanting options to virtually add furniture  / clean up clutter with AI, change sky colors, etc, etc, what is everyone using ? A stand alone program / app or is there any that works with  / in Photoshop? 

pls see image showing how the brush repeats all the way up the image after one click. this is also on the cloe tool

Hello,I am having an issue launching several Adobe applications on my Dell laptop. When I attempt to open InDesign, Illustrator, or Lightroom, the application briefly appears in Task Manager, but the status shows “Suspended.” The CPU stays at 0%, memory briefly goes to about 0.1 MB, and then the process disappears. The application never opens.This issue started after a recent February Adobe update. I have already tried the following troubleshooting steps: Restarted my computer Ended Adobe background processes in Task Manager Signed out and back into Creative Cloud Uninstalled and reinstalled InDesign Attempted to reset preferences on launch None of these steps resolved the issue.Could you please advise on what may be causing these applications to fail at launch and how to fix it?Thank you.

Seriously?  Adobe has to install and execute multiple node.js processes (a server side software product for building crummy bloated javascript websites) on my client machine to run the Adobe Creative Cloud (what I consider a background app)?  Between these and related apps, they are consuming exorbitant amounts of memory and CPU.  Do I have to run creative cloud 100% of the time?  C'mon man!  I just don't get it.  If I can't disable creative cloud, I'll have to get rid of my photoshop plan.  I would expect an app like this to take about 400KiB of ram and .0001 CPU, OR to not be required to run at all.  Terrible decision to deploy this crap to the client machine.  Adobe, can you help?  I'm seriously considering bailing on this product.

We’re using version 6.8.1.865 (January 2026), which is the latest release as of this writing.  Our vulnerability management solutions are flagging this due to NVD - CVE-2025-55130 with a critical score of 9.1 for Node.js.  How can I remediate this in our environment?

Why does Adobe Crash Processor (ACP) keep running and producing lots of crash logs. I reported this about a year ago and there have been lots of updates since then but the problem still persists. I’m using the latest versions of the Cloud stuff and of LR (classic), PS, BR, and ACR. I can stop it by renaming all the instances of ACP so they can’t run, but at the next update they get replaced with no cure. Bob Frost

Hi! I use TotalAV as my antivirus and apparently it found two threats by the name of “ame.app.sv_SE.dat” that seemed to have come from Abobe (Not sure what app). It labeled the threat as a TR/SNH which I have no idea what that is yet. Could someone help me out? What does this mean exactly? 

SORRY THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN ERROR...PLEASE RELOAD PAGE. THIS IS WHAT IS COMING UP ON PAGE AND CANNOT REMOVE IT OR FIX IT. 

Maybe I'm missing something but I'm finding that Canva removes the background faster and better than Photoshop. I get a good high resolution transparent image that I can use in InDesign. My Photoshop images when I remove the background leave remnants and cloudy edges that never look good. There must be a plugin or something I'm missing in Photoshop to be outdone by Canva.

Error with selecting objects. is giving errors. I can't select anything.

I updated the Creative Cloud app last week to (6.8.1.865). It shows it under “Adobe Creative Cloud”. But it also says the previous update number (6.8.1.856) below it too. Is that normal? Has it actually updated properly? Or is it a bug or issue to be fixed in a future update? Or if not, why are the numbers different? I’ve tried reinstalling the app before and it says the exact same thing. 

I am plotting large numbers in a bar graph. Illustrator automatically rounds the number up and adds "e+06" to the number even with the column width set to 8 digits. How do I fix this to make it the exact number I input without the "e+06" in the cell?

I no longer have photoshop beta on the creative cloud. 

Hi! Can't launch the app , all i see is "Initializing Creative Cloud" and rolling round. 

Hello Adobe Support Team and Community,I'm experiencing persistent and frustrating issues with the Creative Cloud Desktop app that are blocking access to paid features of my subscription. These problems have been ongoing despite trying all the standard troubleshooting steps.Detailed issues:The app takes an extremely long time to load the Home tab — it shows "Loading Home tab..." or "It's taking longer than usual" with a spinning wheel for several minutes (sometimes 5+ minutes). Once it finally loads, the plan section displays "Plan Information Unavailable" (it often shows as if I only have a free account). Because of this, the Beta apps tab does not appear at all, so I cannot access or download beta versions (e.g., Photoshop Beta, Illustrator Beta, etc.). I also cannot install plugins for Adobe XD via the Marketplace in the app — the option is blocked or fails due to plan recognition issues.My subscription is active — I can see it normally on account.adobe.com/plans, but the desktop ap

 Vaya ESTAFA!Si cancelas te penalizan con una cuantía bien alta y encima pierdes todos los créditos acumulados si NO ESTÁ ACTIVA la subscripción, aunque lleve casi un año pagando. Me parece muy INJUSTO, puesto que la cantidad anual es bien alta para todos los recursos gratuitos que hay hoy en día... Puedo necesitar el material en cualquier momento que no sea durante la subscripción y no puedo usarlo habiendo pagado mensualmente por una subscripción que se activó sola tras el mes de prueba q me ofrecian al comprar Creative Cloud? Es más, Ni siquiera te mantienen los créditos activos, si sigues pagando el suite completo de Adobe por otra subscripcion anual aparte…. Muy fuerte y cutre… Todo para que mantegas la subscripcion de stock photos...  encima la plataforma me falló cuando quise guardar unas imágenes en la galería personal, tampoco las podía descargar y ahora me entero de esto? yo había leído que sí que seguiría teniendo acceso a los créditos que habían sido pagados... Qué mal.Me p

Large hidden files in CRLogs folderThe path is: C:Users/Username/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/CRLogs This CRLogs folder takes up 51GB of my hard drive. Inside the folder files as *.dmpWhat are those files?Is it save to delete those? Is there any official response from Adobe on this? Google isn't really turning up much of use

Each time I boot the Windows, I have a process, node.exe, from Creative Cloud Desktop, that keep my cpu at high usage, even if I didn’t opened any Adobe app, this stay for 40-60 minutes. I reset the settings to default in CC app, I uninstall and reinstall it, still same problem. Any way to fix this?specs: Windows 11, cpu 9800x3d, 64gb ddr5, latest bios for motherboard, only legit software...

The 'Remove older versions' function doesn't work. In fact, I don't know if I've ever seen it work. What I'd expect is that the 2025 version is uninstalled when the 2026 version is installed.However, this is not the case. I have auto-update enabled but now have 2025 and 2026 versions installed.The same behaviour happend with 2024/2025 versions. 2022 Macbook Pro 16" Apple M2 ProMacOS Tahoe 26.0.1Creative Cloud Desktop 6.8.0.821

Hello! We have noticed on a few users that the Plugins tab in Stock & Marketplace is empty. Screenshots provided. One with, one with out. Any reason why we cannot see plugins?

Hello. I am working on a file that I haven't opened in a few months and it has broken links. When going to relink all instances of the missing files, the links panel closes and the libraries panel opens. I don’t have my file assets saved in a library, they are saved to a corporate cloud that I access on my desktop. I can’t seem to find my local files when relinking files. Has this system changed recently? Are we being forced to use Adobe libraries?  Dumping 4 tb into Abobe Cloud is not an option.  Thanks in advance. EDIT> Blast, it would seem I was trying import from libraries. This function is working normally, my issue is resolved,
