Can't close Creative Cloud Desktop app?

[#1]

So I just updated to the new CC app, looks nicer than the tiny old one. But one problem - you can't close it. With the old app, you could right-click on the icon in the task tray and choose "Close" to close the app. The new one doesn't have a right-click 😞

Request: Please add a right-click with close option to the task tray icon.

if you want to request a feature, post here - https://www.adobe.com/products/wishform.html

p.s.  you can always use task manager to close a wayward program.

First Restart your system then test your method.

If you still don't see the exit, or on my system it is Quit, then try the 3 DOTS on the upper right hand corner of the app window. Click those and select Exit or Quit.

Thanks for the reply 🙂 I have restarted just to confirm. There is no quit/exit from the tray icon (no right-click at all). The old app (vertical display of cloud apps) had the 3 dots in the top-right corner. The new app (horizontal, wrapped display of cloud apps) doesn't have the 3 dots.

What is the version number of you CC app? You find that by going to the 3 DOTS and select preferences. But if you don't have the 3 dots you can't get there. Your install of the CC app is corrupted. You need to uninstall and reinstall. The newest version end in 504, released in July. There has not been any other updates.

Hehe I'm not corrupted, you're just running an old version 😄 I've got version 5.0.0.354 - it's got a totally different layout to the last version. It auto-updated on me I think last week. (I didn't select a preview build or anything, it just must be the latest standard release)

[#8]

You are running a version that has not been released yet. See my screenshot above and this link https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/release-note/cc-release-notes.html to the Release Notes for the CC desktop App. The version you say you are running is not listed. I have no idea where or how you got it.

I had version 4 installed, and it literally did an auto-update and then I had the new version. LOL. Classic Adobe.

[#10]

Hi! I have the same version as you... It's Ctrl+W or click on "File" then "Exit Creative Cloud"

[#11]

Yes this does seem to be the only way I've found to close it also. I was just hoping for a right-click on the task tray icon with a close option - just as version 4 had.

[#12]

For those looking at this thread. This is the answer ^^^^^

Hi @sma-s4s,  You can just close through the cross inon and UI will go into the background.  If that is not happening  please do let me know and I will be happy to help you. 

Thanks,

Really? The Cross (Better known as a X) does NOT CLOSE the CC desktop app (Neither on Windows or Mac) all it does is Close the CC DTA Window, not the actual program.

[#15]

Open CC Desktop App.

Click the 3 dots icon beside your avatar and select QUIT.

I guess the only way at this stage is to turn off  'Launch Creative Cloud at login' in settings.
