How do I stop creative cloud leaving background processes running #2

[#1]

Its funny how this has been a problem for a while. They should just fix it already.

I sincerely agree! And I wish "funny" described it for me.

Infuriating, maddening, inducing violent thoughts that include smashing my computer to bits? Those more accurately describe my experience with Adobe and specifically Creative Cloud.

I tried to close CC today using the X, exiting from the tray, and ending the task in task manager, and NONE of them actually stopped it from using 20% of my CPU. Twenty percent! Every letter I type via VPN is delayed like .25 seconds because a program I don't use and didn't ask for got installed on my computer by a company that has shown they don't care for at least 5 years...and it's using a full 1/5th of my computer power. 

I'm actively looking to replace eveyrthing Adobe right now. I cannot support this madness any more.

I move the original topic over from the Account, Payment & Plan forum to the CC Services forum and then branched your post, as you posted to a 5 year old thread, and the one reply to a new conversation.

Simple fact is Adobe does not consider these processes to be a probelm no matter how many people complain about them. So they won't be fixed or changed or shut down.
