How can I prevent Adobe and Creative Cloud processes from running when I am not using any Adobe apps

[Matthew31848969i6ho]

After installing Photoshop, there are six Adobe processes running continuously on my computer:

Adobe Content Synchronizer

Adobe Content Synchronizer Finder Extension

Creative Cloud Content Manger.app

Creative Cloud Interprocess Service

Creative Cloud Libraries Synchronizer

How can I prevent these extraneous processes from running on my computer when I am not running Photoshop (or any other Adobe app)?

I only use Photoshop locally, so I have no need for Creative Cloud or synchronization. I dislike that these six processes run continuously on my computer even if I only use Photoshop for one hour a month. This behavior is more like a virus than like a carefully crafted software tool.

Hi @Matthew31848969i6ho go to your Creative Cloud Desktop app and turn off all sync functions. Most of those are for file syncing to the cloud via your local folder.
