It may just be me, but I find the frequency of updates to the Creative Cloud bothersome. I have automatic updates turned off so see how often I have to update. There is also no identification of changes that have occurred. This, to me, should be a simple management program of Adobe installs.

Does anyone have any insight on why Adobe updates Creative Cloud so frequently?

People complain if Adobe doesn't fix bugs frequently enough. People complain if Adobe fixes bugs too frequently.

I prefer that they fix bugs, and so the frequency of updating the Creative Cloud is a good thing.

I agree but I was just surprised about the frequency of, what I saw was, a management component plus there was no link to upgrade information like on PS or LrC.

My observation is that Photoshop seems to get updated more frequently than does Lightroom. I don't follow Photoshop as closely as I do Lightroom (Lightroom Classic in particular). Personally, I don't worry about updates, and routinely accept updates as they are made available. Lightroom and Lightroom Classic are updated approximately every quarter. Sometime new features are added, but there is always support added for the raw files for new cameras as that is probably the primary reason for the necessity for the updates.

Jim, I realize I wasn't clear in my question. It was specifically around the Creative Cloud App and not the products supported by the Creative Cloud app. That is the contrast I'm talking about. seems the CC app is updated more frequently than the products I use.

In retrospect, what I was not considering is that the CC app has to be updated in relation to all Adobe products available and not just the 2 I use which could be driving the frequency of changes.

I agree with your last paragraph.
