Adobe Creative Cloud/Photoshop Windows Services

[Arpoh]

Hello, I would like to know what Windows services are required for Adobe Creative Cloud and Photoshop to work properly on Windows 11 ? Because I have a low-performance PC and I try to minimize Windows services running in the background to save as much CPU/Memory usage as possible.

Thank you in advance.

Yes, but I would like to know what are the Windows services needed to run Adobe Creative Cloud and Photoshop. This does not answer my question.

Try disabling one at a time to see if it is necessary.

If, however, your computer is so weak that you need to be that picky about which Windows services are running, you won't be happy with the performance of any Adobe product.

I think this is what I'm gonna have to do. Thank you.

Win 11 on low performing PC?  Isn't that an oxymoron?

You need a minimum of 64GB of storage and 4 GB of RAM just to install Win11.

That doesn't take into account any other apps, processes & utilities.

Make sure your computer has enough CPU, GPU, RAM & storage.  An ample scratch disk for Photoshop is essential.
