Why do you force users to use the cloud?

[Sequelle]

Everytime I want to save I'm prompted to do it on the Creative Cloud.
I don't want that, I don't want this as a default, how do I turn this off ?

And why is there about 20 adobe programs running in the background at any given time?

Change saving location in preferences and close the applications you don't want open.

I don't want to open the task manager and kill every single adobe apps running in the background each time I start my computer. Yes, everything is off, I purposfully selected to NOT run Adobe CC on startup and yet it's always on my task manager despite not being open.

A professional solution from Adobe to handle such changes would be to have a box option to revert to the previous user setting (not cloud) right on the screen the first time when the "update" is implemented as in, when the user gets that ennoying "save to cloud and figure it out on your own if you don't like it" screen. No long term client likes to be belittled and be left figuring out imposed changes on their own, which can from the number of time this issue comes back be a real drain of time for NO reason at all.
