Question

How to Stop AutoUpdate and Creative Cloud Services

On our harded Windows 10 Environment, „Creative Cloud Desktop App“ makes a lot of Problems. Especially „CCxProcess.exe“ makes the most Problems. The Process will start, and crashes immediately, and starts again and crashes immediatly and starts again and so on. This creates a lot of CPU usage. We stopped Services and Task, we deleted Autostart Programs. But everytime your Users starts an Adobe Product, CCXProcess will also starts and crashes and starts again.

How can I stop completly Adobe Update Check? Because our Users can not install any Software.

How can I stop Adobe Creative Cloud? Because our User did not Use any Cloud Services.

How can I add exclusions to Applocker, Firewall and AntiVirus? Because we are adding 100 Exclusions for Adobe Processes to Applocker and AV. We are adding the digital Signature to he Applocker Rule. We can not add *-Urls to our Firewall and wan’t add over 200 Adobe URLs to your Firewall.

 

I understand the need for the license checking. This service also works with all our deployed security features.
But the Creative Desktop App is the only software in our environment that causes such problems. It's frustrating for everyone, for our users, because your workstation is uncomfortably slow. For the administrators, because they spend hours testing exceptions that then don't work.

 

Greetings, a frustrated Admin 😞

Thanks for the link, Axel Matt
I have already tested all the settings from the thread. We also use a customized setup from the AdminConsole. Turning off AutoUpdate for the products like Photoshop, InDesign, etc. also works. Only the Creative Cloud desktop app is constantly checking for updates.
I am not concerned with not installing updates. It's about having to install updates via software deployment, because our users don't have rights to install software. Also, we still need to do customizations before the software installs.
