Taskkill Creative Cloud Background Processes?

Hi all,

I occasionally run resource-hungry apps (e.g., audio editing, 3D rendering) on my Windows 10 workstation and, for optimization, prefer to disable all unnecessary apps.  Adobe installs several background apps for Creative Cloud that ignore the TASKKILL command unless given the /F ("force") parameter.  But I prefer not to use the /F parameter in case open files could be lost or corrupted.  It's unfortunate that such a sledgehammer is necessary to merely disable CC temporarily.  So, here's my question:

Is there a way to gracefully kill the CC background processes without necessitating the /F parameter?  Sometimes, there's an order of procedure that's necessary to stop a parent process before the child processes can be closed (or are closed automatically) and I haven't found any discussion of that in these forums or elsewhere online.  Furthermore, when I use TASKKILL, many of the CC background apps reinstantiate themselves before I can finish.  So, I suspect there's a "Master Control Program" at work here, though I'm not sure which one it could be.

Alternately, can anybody guarantee for me that those CC background processes are safe to terminate with the /F parameter?  Perhaps there's no file activity created by these processes to worry about corruption.

Any assistance is appreciated.
