Too many processes running on windows from Adobe

Question

While having Creative Cloud installed, one of the things that I don't like about Adobe is the amount of satellite processes that need to be always running (18 processes) when I am not using a single application from the suite, this to me makes no sense and becomes a resource intense issue that leads to the wish to uninstall apps.

Hi,I agree with this. For example, when running Photoshop, I have 15 instances of CEPHtmlEngine.exe running. CC Desktop is also an invasive program. However, many of the Adobe processes that are running permanently are tied to CC Desktop. If you uncheck the "Launch at login" option in CC Desktop, your system memory space will be less invaded. You don't need to have CC Desktop running permanently. I launch it only when checking for updates.
