I use Adobe once a month. How do I prevent processes from running in the background all the time?

I use Adobe products maybe once a month. However there are always Adobe processes runing in the background costing me CPU processing power, even though I have set Adobe to not update or run when the computer starts. 

 

For example, I cannot get IPC broker to stop restarting after I have closed it and every other adobe product and process. 

 

Since there is absolutly no nned for any Adobe process to  ever run in the bacground when I am not using Adobe products ( i can update manually) , how do I prevent background process from running and stealing my processing power. Thank you.

I cannot believe Photoshop has dominated the graphic design market and yet Adobe allows these Creative Cloud processes to start at computer startup and run in background nonstop. I have used Paintshop Pro for years and love it and only recently switched to Photoshop only because more clients demand it, but this is ridiculous. Someone please tell me this has been changed since 2020 and there is now a way to prevent processes from starting at startup?

nope, and not likely to change in the future. otoh, those processes combined should be using less than 1% of your cpu.

Yes maybe even less than 1% , but they are totally unecessary when you don't use the app.

that may be true for you, but it's not true for many others that depend on cc to collaborate with others.

Yes but that does not mean everyone loves having it hijack their machine and not be allowed to dictate whether it runs at start up or not. Many are not running it every time the machine starts. I have to kill it every time because it is using much more than 1% and it's about the principle that they have the nerve to make software that you cannot choose whether it starts at startup or not just so they can verify payment easier and push CC.

You could try blocking it with your firewall and then allow it when necessary.
