How to stop/discontinue download/update attempts for Acrobat DC

[DonaldKnight]

Currently have and prefer Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and do not want it 'updated'/'replaced' by Acrobat DC.

To stop the update manager from running at startup... but ONLY if you don't want any update notices

1-Right click the Windows button on the lower left

2-select Task Manager

2b you may need to select the option in the lower left corner to see the Startup tab

3-select the Startup tab

4-Disable the Adobe services you don't want to run

--including, but not limited to...

--Adobe Creative Cloud

--Adobe CS6 Service Manager

--Adobe Updater Startup Utility

That's not the point. I want updates on the products I own, ie the Photo package.

I will never own Acrobat DC. Not interested. Never will be. It's overpriced and unnecessary with all the free alternatives.

Why does Adobe insist on annoyingly spamming its customers?
