[Feature]: Deactivating unnecessary background processes #95

Closed NotaInutilis closed 10 months ago

What do you want to see added?

Hi! Thanks for your work! It works well and is easy to use.

Recently, I've used this tutorial https://www.reddit.com/r/GenP/wiki/redditgenpguides/#wiki_.25BA_guide_.238_-_blocking_unnecessary_adobe_background_processes.28ps.2Fdc.29 to completely deactivate a few adobe processes which still ran automatically at startup. Would it be possible to add this to CCStopper?

I see that this was previously implemented last year https://github.com/eaaasun/CCStopper/pull/29 but it seems like this script has now disappeared from the repo. Was there a problem with it?

How could this be accomplished?

Add a .bak to the name of the following files (and allow to reverse it).

C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Sync\CoreSync\CoreSync.exe
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience\CCXProcess.exe
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Creative Cloud Libraries\CCLibrary.exe
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat DC\Acrobat\AdobeCollabSync.exe

The following file is needed for CC update so we'd need another solution. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ADS\Adobe Desktop Service.exe

Duplicate Feature Request

t4rra commented 10 months ago

I've found that there's not much impact by disabling the above files, plus I'm trying to avoid a bloated list of options that a handful of users would find useful once.

There wasn't a problem with the pull request, and I believe that script can be run standalone (which isn't the case for current modules). I only decided to remove it for the above reasons.
