Hi again Going to try to provide you with more information this time. This is a Win10 64bit system, private home connection to the internet. I don't know if you need that but I've had to deal with tech support numerous times about my product and you start to remember the questions you're asked at every level of escalation. Thanks to dealing with technical support Adobe CC and related apps has been uninstalled using the CC cleaner tool, and reinstalled as admin several times by both techs and myself. Each time, I make sure to change preferences to not autorun and not sync. When my computer starts, Adobe starts up the IPC Broker, the Update Service (even with always keep CC app up to date unchecked) CCLibraries, CCVProcesses, and Core Sync (even with file sync disabled). These are all 32bit processes, all running, every time I restart my computer, with no interaction between myself and the Adobe CC app. I have a third party uninstaller that I use to deal with nuisance programs and I discovered last evening that using its autorun manager to disable Adobe does work, but since that's not how it should be I'd prefer to do it the correct way. Adobe CC related processes listed in that program's autorun manager are: Application restart #0 and Application restart #1 both located in the registry HKCU RunOnce, Adobe creative cloud located in the registry HKML 32bit Run, AdobeGCInvoker-1.0 and AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0 both in registry HKML Run, and Adobe Genuine Monitor Service and Genuine Software Integrity Service, both located in Services. This is insanity. With everything set to not autorun Adobe CC at this point it's either use a third party program to control Adobe or I just don't turn on my computer. I saw a forum post from a couple of months ago with pretty much this same issue but the only response was to make sure nothing was syncing. Nothing is set to sync on my computer, well Gmail syncs with my phone, but otherwise the things I don't want moving don't move until I tell them to do so. but Adobe still autoruns on my computer and that can't be shut off by any means other than third party. The last tech I spoke with said the inability to control Adobe autorun is a Windows feature and according to them, "it will always be on". Does that seem right? Windows gives me the rocker type switch to turn this off in Windows startup settings, it just never stays off. That doesn't sound like a Windows feature.
