How to stop Creative Cloud from launching when Photoshop starts?

[Sarah Northway]

"Settings > General > Launch Creative Cloud at login" is NOT checked.

"Settings > Apps > Auto-update" is NOT checked.

"Settings > Notifications > App Updates" (and all other notifications) is NOT checked.

However, after the most recent update, Creative Cloud launches when I start Photoshop, and pops up a notification to tell me there are updates to my apps. What part of do not launch / do not update / no notifications does Adobe not understand?

How do I stop Creative Cloud from launching EVER under ANY circumstances, except when I manually run the exe myself?

Thanks kglad.   After updating to the latest version of PS, the CC Desktop app always opened with PS. It was irritating, especially during conference calls with screen sharing. In the preferences, I set it up to "not open up on login", but it didn't work. I tried all easy fixes I could find. Nothing worked, and it wasn't that important . However, after your comment, I tried it again and CCDesktop app and CC Desktop app didn't open when I started up PS. So, that is fixed and beats me why. !?!?

I'm sorry about <that final-kglad> comment. I love PS and I felt frustrated. I wish I could edit that. 

Thanks for your help!
