![]() ![]() You could even remove it completely, but I would hardly recommend that as the Adobe apps you use from time to time may no longer work that way. Just check off the application name and clicked the tiny green button reading ‘Enabled’ next to it, to disable its launch agent. If you are a Mac user and you own a product like CleanMyMac, you can use its user-friendly GUI to control which apps can launch (their agents) at startup using the pane Extensions > Launch Agents. How to Prevent Adobe Creative Cloud Application from Auto-launching at Startup In the screenshot here, you can see some of the Adobe agents which are running in the background. To verify how many Adobe applications or agents running in the background even in cases where you did not launch any single one of them, you could type in the following in Terminal and hit the Enter or Return key: ps -ef | grep Adobeįor the better, to see a list of all foreground and background processes sorted by CPU consumption just type top -o cpu in the command-line terminal:Īfter entering this command, you’ll get a real-time listing of top processes, be it foreground, or background, who are sorted by the amount of CPU resources they consume.Īlternatively, if you open the Activity Monitor application from Applications > Utilities (or just open the Launchpad and go to the ‘Other’ folder) This can be clearly observed by watching them under-the-hood with the Mac’s Activity Monitor, or more conveniently with the command line bash utility from within the Terminal application. In fact, I have recently come to the realization that quitting Adobe Creative Cloud from the macOS menu bar does not really quit anything except removing its icon from where you last clicked it (in this case, the menu bar). Secret Agents also known as UNIX daemons Working in the BackgroundĪdobe Creative Cloud software has a number of undercover agents always running in the background, apparently doing certain deeds of Adobe, even after quitting the application from the menu bar, or even when there is no single Adobe application that is active(ly running in the foreground) or one that you have ever launched. In the first times, I personally did not care much about it, as I thought just hitting the Adobe CC icon (which resembles an infinity symbol) in the menu bar, and then quitting Adobe Creative Cloud from there would just shut it up, and reclaim all the memory and CPU it had been consuming. To make things worse, they can be wasting a lot of your CPU time if not also a considerable amount of RAM. And they are only noticeable from the list of background tasks and software daemons. These little Adobe CC agent apps are always running and strutting around behind the scenes with GUI-less interfaces, even when you are not using a single Adobe application. Once any Adobe application from the Creative Cloud suite is installed on a computer, Adobe first sets up a set of its mixture (or a hybrid) of ‘agent’ and ‘installation manager’ applications on the system, whose resources they could be consuming extravagantly. Also I occasionally use a few applications from the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of products. ![]() As an application developer and a WordPress techie who spends most of his time working in and switching between the web browser windows, my IDE, database tools (especially Navicat), and the command line. If you are like me, you might be working on the Mac with dozens of windows open at the same time, yet trying to use the computer’s memory in the most economical way given the needs.
