How do I stop apps from launching when installed?

It's when the apps were first being installed.

However, I installed Extension Manager this morning, (before finding another article that stated it's obsolete) and it did not start on it's own.

I'll let you know if I need to install anything else, and things are still wack.

Hi Dylan%20Valentine,

Kindly let us know, if the applications are launching right after installing, or creative cloud app appears whenever the apps are installed?

Please follow the below steps and check:

If you are using MAC :

1- Force Quit the below processes in the same sequence as mentioned below from Activity Monitor: see, Use Activity Monitor on your Mac - Apple Support

• Creative Cloud
• Core sync & Core sync Helper
• CC library & CCX processes
• Adobe Desktop Common
• Adobe Update daemon
• Adobe IPC Broker
• After this anything that says adobe on it do a force quit for it

2- Right click on Finder icon and  select "Go-To" Folder option. You will get a text box, type-in below command and then hit 'Return' key.( " Do not miss ~ symbol " )

~/library ( It will open User Library folder. )

3- Then navigate to Application Support>Adobe> trash OOBE folder and AAM Updater folder

4- Launch Creative Cloud app again and sign in

If you are using WINDOW:

1- End Process/ Task from Task Manager in the same sequence as mentioned below from task manager. see, Open Task Manager
