Is node.exe in Task Manager an Adobe process?

[pixelized007]

I don't do any file syncing, how can I stop it? It keeps coming back even when I force it off in Task Manager.

Any other processes in Task Manager that I can close? I don't use Adobe everyday and don't need extra processes running for no reason.

(If I do close any necessary processes for Acrobat or Elements and I then start the program will the necessary processes start by themselves?)

yes, it is - Process Called Node.exe In Task Manager

whether you'll have problems after closing it, i don't know.

Not a very professional answer! In fact, it doesn't really answer anything! Can perhaps somebody else reply with some proper detail?

Node.exe is a process to run JavaScript apps. It is used by Adobe and many others. So, it can be an Adobe process, but it might not be. I hope that's "professional" enough for you. Should I add more technobabble?

So, you are rude on top of it.

The following was actually asked in the first place.

" I don't do any file syncing, how can I stop it? It keeps coming back even when I force it off in Task Manager.

Any other processes in Task Manager that I can close? I don't use Adobe every day and don't need extra processes running for no reason.

(If I do close any necessary processes for Acrobat or Elements and I then start the program, will the necessary processes start by themselves?) "

Nobody asked what Node.exe actually is. The relevant questions are marked in blue and green above. Especially don't need your "technobabble" as a reply!

Why are you answering in the first place? The answer had originally come from

Can somebody else from Adobe give an answer to what was asked. Thank you

There is rudeness, but I think we'll leave it to others to decide who has been rude. I don't think you have picked up how the forums work. Nobody from Adobe will answer. Nobody from Adobe has answered. Perhaps you are misled by the "Adobe Community Professional" label.
