"Settings > General > Launch Creative Cloud at login" is NOT checked.
"Settings > Apps > Auto-update" is NOT checked.
"Settings > Notifications > App Updates" (and all other notifications) is NOT checked.
However, after the most recent update, Creative Cloud launches when I start Photoshop, and pops up a notification to tell me there are updates to my apps. What part of do not launch / do not update / no notifications does Adobe not understand?
How do I stop Creative Cloud from launching EVER under ANY circumstances, except when I manually run the exe myself?
The hacky workaround is totally obvious in retrospect.
I renamed:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\ACC\Creative Cloud.exe
to something else (something rude! lol).
Also these files and every EXE in these folders for good measure (I was in a mood):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\ACC\Creative Cloud.exe
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ADS\Adobe Desktop Service.exe
I switched back and forth a few times to confirm: Photoshop no longer starts up
