Create Cloud prevents Win11 screen saver from activating.

[Rob Ainscough]

You've managed to mess it up again Adobe.  If I allow creative cloud to load and run in the system tray, it will prevent my Windows 11 screen saver from activating after 3 mins of inactivity ... this is a big deal for OLED monitor users (i.e. most professionals).

When exit CC (no longer running in my systray), my screen saver activates correctly after 3 mins of inactivity.  So CC is clearly doing something that prevents screen saver activation ... what sort of behind the users back tasks are you running Adobe?

open the cc app > click all 4 icons.

test to see if your ssaver starts working again

Hi @Rob Ainscough , @Deleted User

I hope you're doing well. Could you please open the Creative Cloud Desktop Application and click on the four buttons which are on the right-hand side of the app (Fonts, Notifications, Cloud and profile icon) & check if that helps? 

You can also check this community link and try the steps mentioned in it:- https://community.adobe.com/t5/creative-cloud-services-discussions/creative-cloud-desktop-preventing...

Let us know if that helps.

Regards,

if @Tarun Saini's suggestion fails, or you want a longer term solution to prevent the adobe cc app from interfering with your monitor sleeping, use the command line

powercfg /requestsoverride process "creative cloud.exe" display system

(solution supplied by @tsmith35x)

you can also exit the cc app (click upper left hamburger menu > file > exit cc app)
