![]() I've just looked over my Windows 7 AutoRuns settings, and it's pretty much the same stuff I listed above but in slightly different places. (and no, I'm not interested in posting this ''feature request'' over on and hoping for votes) Not everyone prefers to give up their system resources for a little extra convenience. It's no wonder people report that their systems 'slow down' over time.Īdobe: Please consider offering a ''Lean'' or ''Custom'' installation mode in which these things are optional, and provide clear descriptions of what functionality they provide. Many of these things run all the time, from bootup, whether we're using Adobe software or not. in the menus, when I hear on the forums that an update has been released). In the context of a Photoshop-only installation, about the only downside I can see for disabling these things is that since the auto-updaters have been disabled, occasionally I'll need to check for updates manually (e.g., Help - Updates. \AdobeAAMUpdater-1.0-W8VMRP-NoelC (Adobe Updater Startup Utility).AdobeARMservice (Adobe Acrobat Updater keeps your Adobe software up to date). ![]() Services started at bootup by entries in the registy key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services: SwitchBoard (SwitchBoard Server (32 bit).AdobeCS6ServiceManager (Adobe CS6 Service Manager).Adobe ARM (Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager).Programs started at login by entries in the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run: ![]() Here's a list of various modules I have disabled without apparent downside: Just to be clear, the only Adobe software packages I've installed on this VM are Adobe Reader and Adobe Photoshop CS6. It turns out that I actually AM able to disable just about every ''background'' program that Adobe installed, and Photoshop still works just fine. In short, even Windows thinks the stuff Adobe installs is excessive and potentially troublesome!Īs I prefer AutoRuns to msconfig32, I acutally did go and disable the software which I do not need running, to keep the system lean. Just having gone through a test installation of Photoshop CS6 on a Windows 8 圆4 virtual machine, I found it interesting that just after Photoshop CS6 went in Windows itself reported, through the Action Center, that a bunch of ''background'' programs were installed, and would I like to go into msconfig32 and disable them. ![]()
