Logtransport2.exe crashes (unable to start) on system shutdown

Question

I have seen references to similar problems here and elsewhere, but all of them seem to be fairly old, and don't offer relevant solutions. I am running Windows 7 64, with all the latest updates, on a homebrew Asus MB with an Intel I7 processor and 32 GB of memory. I am having no other problems with the hardware or with other software. I recently subscribed to CC, having been a Dreamweaver (5.5) user for a couple of years.
For the last couple of weeks, on shutdown (if I have used any CC program during the session, but apparently not if I haven't), I see a crash box for logtransport2.exe, saying that it cannot start. The crash box stays up for a second or two, then the system continues to shut down normally. There appear to be six instances of logtransport2.exe in my CC root directory - one in the root itself, and one in each of the trees of my installed applications (ID, Acrobat, Photoshop, Photoshop 64, and DW). There appear to be none anywhere else on the system. All of the files seem to be identical (V 2.1.2.1756; 4/19/2013) except the one in the CC root, which is earlier (V 2.1.2.1640; 9/23/2012) - I wonder if this is relevant. I have tried disabling participation in the Product Improvement Program, which appeared to be the only potentially relevant suggestion in discussions elsewhare, but the crash box still appears on shutdown. This is getting irritating! is there a known fix for this?

This is just a "me too" post. I am having the same problem though it doesn't seem to be causing any damage...
I have 13 copies of this on my system, one each in the various Adobe app folders. The newest apparently came
with the new Lightroom CC install and unlike the other copies, it is much larger at 1,616 KB. The others are all at
or below 511 KB each. The oldest is version 2.1.2.1640 from 9/23/2012, the newest is version 7.2.1.3593 dated
4/6/2015.
I read elsewhere on the 'net that it is used for Adobe's (optional) product improvement feedback system. It is said
that you can disable this option to prevent this executable from running but I haven't looked into that or where the
option can be found and disabled in the software.
Hope Adobe notices this, there is a long history of folks have problems with this file.
