I'm also frustrated by the fact that so many sites out there don't tell you about this but instead will tell you to turn off the main Creative Cloud App and ignore all these background apps. But I get asked about this enough and I personally find a big benefit from doing this so I thought I would share it with everyone.

But at least from the latest time you restarted your Mac up until the first time you need to use one of these apps these background processes won't be running.
So in the long run this won't really help you because as soon as you use an Adobe App all these will be running. However, for me I really like to not have these run at all until I need them. You can go in and kill the processes in Activity Monitor but I don't like that. The other downside is that once you do launch an app, like Creative Cloud or PhotoShop or Illustrator, or whatever, then these are all going to be running. That could be inconvenient but again we're talking about if you're not using the apps all the time anyway. So say if you don't use any Creative Cloud apps the whole day and none of this was running then you might miss out on some updates until you then launch the apps and then you get hit with the updates. One is that things won't automatically update. There are some downsides though to doing this. PhotoShop is smart enough to say, hey I need these things, and trigger them all to launch. However, if you do something like say launch PhotoShop they all automatically launch. If you look then in Activity Monitor you won't see any of them there. So when you start your Mac up it's like starting it up if you don't have Creative Cloud installed. By removing them from there they won't launch. They are little descriptions of this app needs to be running when you start your Mac. Now what these are is they are not apps or anything in themselves. I simply go through and Delete all of these. In these folders you're going to find things that are named with Adobe in the title. Look there for a Launch Agents and Launch Demons. That's the Library Folder at the very top level of your drive. So the trick is to go into Main Library folder. It turns out this hack works pretty well because if you do then go ahead and launch Creative Cloud or you launch, say, PhotoShop they all launch automatically and everything works fine. I've gone in and I prevented these from launching. But I still don't want them to launch! So I have done basically a hack. In this case there is no right way because these things are going to launch because you have Adobe Creative Cloud installed and there's no way to tell them not to launch. The right place to go to change the Settings to do things as it is supposed to work.

Now typically I like to do videos on how to do things the right way. But if you're like me and rarely use the apps, only once every few days or so, then you don't want these necessarily running every time you boot your Mac up. These probably should be running right from the get go because you're going to be in PhotoShop sooner or later and you're going to use PhotoShop a lot so might as well have them going. So if you're a frequent user of, say, PhotoShop, then none of this really matters. Now you need these to be running in order to use the apps.
But that doesn't stop all these background tasks from automatically launching when you start your Mac. You just turn that Off and now the app no longer launches. It is just a setting there in Creative Cloud. Now it's easy to have the Creative Cloud App not launch when you login or restart your Mac. But all these background tasks are still going to be there and running. I need them for certain things but I could go days without using any of these apps. In fact, even if you haven't launched any Adobe apps in awhile. This would be true even if you're not using any Adobe Apps. If you look in Activity Monitor you'll see all of them going. Now I love Adobe and it has been a big part of my career, Adobe and Macromedia before that, but what can be really annoying about Adobe Creative Cloud is it has so many background apps running on your Mac.
