Question

Installing apps for single Windows user account

Is it possible to install Adobe apps for just a single Windows 11 user login?  I have a gaming laptop that I'm looking to install PremierePro on.  I'd like to install the Adobe apps on just a single user login on that laptop so that I don't have all the Adobe background processes running while I'm using the laptop for gaming (i.e., one Windows 11 login for gaming, and another Windows 11 login for editing.)

 

I created a 2nd login for editing and installed PPro and AE while logged into that account.  I then logged back into the gaming account only to discover all the Adobe background proccesses running.

 

Not sure if this would be an option on the Adobe side of things or a Windows setting.  Not even sure it's possible at all.  Thanks in advance!

i don't see how that could work.  adobe's background processes (among other things) are invasive and difficult to control.

 

that only sure way to keep your gaming computer clean is to install adobe on a different computer.

Well that sucks.  I guess I'll just have to un-install after this project is complete.  Thanks for the quick response!
