This app is all you need! https://download.sysinternals.com/files/Autoruns.zip It allows me to remove everything adobe from starting when I start my computer . My lightroomC, Lightroom and Photoshop work fine! Photoshop starts creative cloud but being able to stop all things adobe with the autostart viewer, creative cloud and anything else will not restart when you restart your computer.
