Excessive background apps running for Creative Cloud [Windows 10]

See screenshot below:

4 instances of CEF Helper

2 instances of Collaboration Syncronizer

2 different versions of "Genuine Software" service

Separate updaters for CC and Acrobat

 

All of these are always running, even with no Adobe apps launched since last reboot.

 

Is this the same for all users, or am I having a problem specific to my installation?

If the latter, is there a way to fix it?

 

I understand that the old fragmented Adobe environment is incrementally consolidating under the CC framework (ie, Acrobat is still barely integrated), but I wonder if it's littering these always-on services as it goes.

 

None of the background exe's are putting noticable drag on the system at the moment, but I'd like to clean up if that's an option.

How can I install or fix after all the background services that run ALL THE TIME, I want to change and only have them run while an app is in use or opened and when app is closed all things related also stop. 

I have tried the settings in CC and within Photoshop and xd, nothing has helped. The only other sorta fix has been to move the files from the program file location to pretty much hide them. 

Can anyone tell me how to do this the correct way, thank you so much.
