How to stop Creative Cloud from launching when Photoshop starts?

"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?

I renamed:

to something else (something rude! lol).

 

Also these files and every EXE in these folders for good measure (I was in a mood):

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud\ACC\Creative Cloud.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ADS\Adobe Desktop Service.exe

 

I switched back and forth a few times to confirm: Photoshop no longer starts up
