zackmark29 / CC-Clean-Launcher

Tired of Adobe CC programs launching tons of background tasks that persist after closing/killing tasks? Try this

CC-Clean-Launcher - CC without the annoying background processes

Disclaimer:

All batch files must be within the same folder

Usage:

1:

• Under services, disable Adobe Genuine Monitor Service (AGMService) and Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service (AGSService)
• And again under services, set AdobeUpdateService to manual
• These will reset everytime you update your CC programs, so make sure to set it each time

2:

• Optional, but recommended:
  • For a more permanent solution, you can delete all files in: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeGCClient
  • Then remove all folder user permissions, including system, so that the files don't restore

• The permanent solution only works for the AG services. The AdobeUpdateService is a necessary one, so just make sure to set it to manual each time you update any CC programs

3:

• Download the batch files

4:

• Run Creative_Cloud_Clean_Launcher.bat
• Choose the program you want to open
  • After launching, You can optionally minimize the launcher

5:

• The launcher will kill some extra startup bloat, however, it will remain open. DO NOT CLOSE IT!
• It needs to kill the residual processes
• Do not close your CC program, kill it from task manager, or alternatively use something like SuperF4, if done correctly the launcher will subsequently close itself
