My applications (Photoshop, Lighroom, Bridge) are working fine so far with the above settings. In "Services" tab, uncheck all services with "Adobe Inc." as manufacturer (in my case there were two: "Adobe Acrobat Update Service", and "AdobeUpdateService"). In "General" tab, choose "Selective startup" with "Load system services", "Load startup items", and "Use original boot configuration" checked. Open "Run" from Start menu, open "msconfig". Open windows Task Manager, select "Startup" tab, right-click on all Adobe applications and select "Disable" (not forgetting to disable CCXProcess, whose publisher is not listed on my machine).ģ. Open Adobe Creative Cloud, select File - Preferences - General, Uncheck "Launch Creative Cloud at login".Ģ.


After finding nothing online which fixed the issue, I performed a few tests and the following settings are working for me:ġ. I contacted Adobe support, who informed me that this behaviour is by design and there is no current plan to address it. I had a similar issue where the creative cloud background processes were running by default on startup. ahk scripts, I may do it at some point though. It's been a while since I've messed with. ahk script, however, I don't really have the time for it atm. Here's the thing, it's possible to make all this into an. Whenever you're done using any CC programs and have them closed, run CC_Exit.bat, it will kill any remnants (`AdobeIPCBroker.exe` is really only one) Run Creative_Cloud_Clean_Launcher.bat and choose the program you want to open Cut CCXProcess.exe and paste it into your backup folder Go to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\OOBE\PDApp\IPC"

Cut CCLibrary.exe and paste it into your backup folder Go to: "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience" Cut AdobeIPCBroker.exe and paste it into your backup folder Go to: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\IPCBox" Make a backup folder for some of the files (you could also rename them, although I prefer to have the backups centralized in a folder with specified path names as their folder paths) Alright this is a bit long, but I'd say that it's less janky, the only thing I can't figure out is AdobeIPCBroker, attempts at removing it caused stuff to break, so a second script is needed once you've exited to clean the leftover.
