Wouldn't it be great if we could run the apps without Creative Cloud

[John_Finlayson]

I am a lone photographer, I don't collaborate with others, I don't sync files, I don't use libraries. (because they can't be automated)

Can we have a way of running Bridge and Photoshop without the ridiculous numer of Creative Cloud background processes.

If not can we have desktop app that only does the absolute minimum, and closes all background process when the main apps aren't being used.

Hi John,

Thank You for your feedback. We are working on enhancements, where number of background processes will be reduced if the main apps aren't being used. For example, in Creative Cloud desktop app 5.11, a new preference has been introduced to control the sync process. 

Please refer to this HelpX for more information about background processes -
