Hide or close the Creative Cloud frame/window

Question

Hello. I am not sure what the frame/window is called, so bare with me. I am working on a project in inDesign. I close the project, but the grey background frame/window is still open. I have to click it closed or hide it each time I am done using inDesign. The same things applies to Photoshop or Illustrator. This is NOT the home screen. Here is what I want: when I close a file, inDesign hides/closes. The grey frame box does not stay around for me to have to manually close it each time. Thank you.

Thank you for sticking with me on this. I think we are as close as its going to get. You are on it... When I untick the Application Frame without a file open, from then on the Application Frame closes when I close a file. The Control bar at the top and the tools remain, but then I click on the visible desktop and good to go. That is a pretty good compromise... one click on the desktop.

BTW... I am surprised this is not a thing for others. Its kind of a (small) pain.

No problem, I am glad I was of some help.

Thank you for the reply. This will close the Application Frame when I am in the application. I want it to close when I close a file. Right now when I close a file, the Application Frame is still opened. The only option I see is to close it manually (per your suggestion), or hide it (command H).
