Question

Why are there 16 Adobe processes running when no adobe apps being used ?

Why does Adobe think it appropriate to run 16 unecessary processes when no Adobe apps are in use? This is not in any way necessary. It is an extreme waste of energy and computer resources. It shows total disregard on Adobe's part for the end user and the arrogant promotion of adobe product requirements over any other product requirements. Adobe are abusing their monopoly position to hog resources.

 

When will they stop it?

Much ado about nothing, I think.

  • 0% = zero usage. 
  • 0.1 and 0.2% is minuscule. 
  • IMO, none of this is worth bursting a blood vessel over.

Also this is a user-to-user community, not Adobe technical support.

etc etc as 5 mins on google would show you.

 

Why is it so typical of the "support community" here to snarkily dismiss any question they can't answer as irrelevant, or provide answers they know don't work?

    Thanks but that doesnt work. All the processes are not available in start up and even when disabled they or their cronies run.  Adobe are well aware of this because it's all over the forums but neglect to change it because arrogance and $$$$.

     

    Good software runs like this -

    When i click to start it , it starts. Not before. Not after. Only when specifically instructed to by the user.

    When I click to update it, it updates. Not before. Not after.  Only when specifically instructed to by the user.

     

    All Adobe

     

    follow up to show what happens on reboot ...
