    IIRC Parallels is a Virtual Macine software program that you install Windows, or some other operating system in.

    What is sound like is happening is you have this parallels Virtual Machine software set to Start, Open, when you start your Mac and it is automatically starting whatever version of Windows (probably Win 10) you have installed and that is Automatically starting the Adobe Creative Cloud Desktop app and then updating whatever Adobe programs you have installed in Windows that is running on the Paralleles Desktop Virtual Machine.

     

    Shut all that down and then stop it from starting when you turn on your Mac.

    It sound like you may have installed the Cloud Desktop Windows b

    version, while Parallels was running. I suggest uninstalling Cloud Desktop, quitting Parallels, then downloading and installing the Mac version.
