Even after I kill the stealth processes running in the background, Photoshop and Acrobat Pro still startup and run fine, which is all that I want for the stuff to run when I want to use it, and it to be completely shut down when I'm not.
The summary is that many of their users have noticed this bloatware running in the background without having launched any Adobe products, and they're pissed and looking for a solution and answers from Adobe to shut the sh*t down, where an Adobe rep responded and basically blew them off with a lame response that the stuff needs to be running, where multiple users have conducted similar tests as myself and discovered differently. You don't need to read that thread, I already did. It seems Adobe is doing some stealth background startups which got me wondering if others had observed this problem and if there was a solution, where Google search brought me to this discussion on the Adobe forums. Post Benchmark after killing Adobe processes in Task Manager Sure enough, the background CPU usage message went away.
I was able to kill those Adobe background processes in task manager once I figured out the proper order and ran another Benchmark test without rebooting. The stuff is so intrusive that the processes have to be killed in a particular order, because if you kill one process, the one which is still running will relaunch it. Sure enough there was like 5 Adobe processes running after a fresh boot and having not even run any of the Adobe products on my PC.
That got me to looking at background processes which were running using Task Manager. Here's what UserBenchmarks showed me "Prior" to installing the Adobe products which is ok, I've seen this in the past.ĪFTER the install of the Adobe products and AFTER disabling the Adobe "Startup" items in task manager, I rebooted my PC and ran another Benchmark performance Test and discovered this new item. All still worked as I needed it, so I thought I was good. After performing these installs, I noticed multiple Adobe services being launched during startup, so I disabled them in the startup menu and then tested to see if Photoshop and Acrobat Pro still launched on my system.
Photoshop forces me to install Adobe's Creative Cloud as well although I never use it. In regards to Adobe products I use Photoshop CC and Acrobat Pro. This time around of having to re-install multiple programs on my PC after restoring to an earlier HDD image, I decided to run UserBenchmarks performance tests and bookmark them after installing each suite of program installs. I also often use UserBenchmarks to run system performance tests to see how my system is performing. I recently had to do a PC system refresh by restoring to a prior system HDD image due to a couple wonky system issues that I could not fix manually. I just stumbled across something that I know most of you would find disturbing living in DAW optimal performance world.
