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:

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
