Why does the Creative Cloud app steal focus multiple times when it starts up?

I am running Windows 8.1. When my system boots up, I've set Creative Cloud to launch at startup. I like to have the CC app running in the background so I can keep all of my apps up to date.
The problem is that the CC app steals the operating system's focus multiple times when it launches. For example, right after I log in to Windows, I'll usually launch Chrome. If I start typing something in the address bar, I am interrupted halfway through as the CC app launches and steals the focus. So then I reset the OS focus to Chrome and start typing again. And then CC usually steals the focus again after a couple of seconds.
I've verified that it is CC by disabling launch-at-startup. Doing this makes the problem go away.
This is completely obnoxious and unnecessary. If an app launches in the background, it shouldn't steal the focus once, let alone twice. This is software development 101. We are paying good money and should not have to deal with problems like this.

  • Does the Creative Cloud app on Mac have to launch at login to check for updates?

    I don't really care to have the Creative Cloud app on my Mac running all the time.  I don't use any of the features for it other than to update apps.
    If I UNcheck "Launch at login"....will I still get notified of updates?
    -Kevin

    I certainly didn't have the Application Manager running all the time in CS6.  Adobe must have had a background process checking for updates because in CS6 where there was an update, I would get the update icon in my menubar.
    What I'm wondering now is.....does CC have a similar process that will notify me of updates?  I don't want to have to manually launch the Creative Coud app just to check.

  • Why does my Creative Cloud app only list 5 apps as installed when I have installed 9 apps?

    I originally installed the Creative Cloud app and all the software I needed (Illustrator, InDesign, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Fireworks, Muse, Edge, Acrobat, InCopy, Bridge, Extension Manager, Lightroom) sometime in 2014.  Now my Cloud app displays only 5 of the software as installed and the rest can be installed.  I have never uninstalled any of the software. 
    So my question is why have some of the installed software disappeared from the Creative Cloud app?

  • Why does the creative cloud stop installing and never finishes?

    Ok so I downloaded the free trial and everything was working out until i double clicked the installer and it said it was installing and 2 secs later when the blue bar(loading bar) started it closed the installation and won't work? Does anyone know why or send me a video on how to solve this issue?

  • Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) and why does my Creative cloud app show updates for CC(2014) products I do not have?

    Why can't I download Photoshop CC(2014) to my Mac Pro desktop running OSX 10.9.3.  My Creative Cloud app shows updates for all apps that I have as CS6 on my desktop but I have only subscribed to Photoshop CC.  Lightroom shows Install but it is installed.  Trying to Install Photoshop CC(2014) results in and error message "Installation failed Errors encountered during installation.(7) more information.
    More information gives Exit Code: 7
    Please see specific errors below for troubleshooting.  For Example, ERROR:
    - 0 fatal error)s), 0 error(s)
    I also cannot directly download from my account on the web.  This has been going on for a week or more and I have tried numerous suggestions on the forums but got nowhere.  I uninstalled Creative Cloud app today but could not find the installer again so I assume that was deleted.  I cannot download that now as on Adobe's site it says we are experiencing problems.  Aren't we all.
    I was happy with CC until last week but now cannot recommend it.
    I also have a Macbook Pro retina and Photoshop CC(2014) downloaded no problem on that.

  • Why does the Creative Cloud show up blank???

    I have unistalled and reinstalled the creative cloud many times, along with restarting my computer. I have also tried all of these solutions many times: CC desktop lists applications as "Up to Date" when not installed.

    Hi Rgold13,
    Are you logging as an administrator. Have you used the Adobe Clean tool to remove all of the partial installed files? The steps in the link that you posted should resolve this issue. Removal of the OPM.DB usually works. Did you find the file? Often people have a difficult finding the file. I would suggest to go thru the steps in this help doc for network troubleshooting steps. Check your hosts file for network connection.

  • Why does my iphone only send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send?

    why does my iphone send one picture multiple times when i select multiple photos to send (via message or email)?

    Are you sending via Camera itself?
    That is, selecting a picture, then select forward link symbol from bottom left
    then select another picture,
    Each time make sure you see the blue check mark at bottom right of each selected picture.
    The number of " # Photos Selected" should be displayed at the top.
    Then select Mail or Message and transmit.

  • Why does the creative cloud cost more in Australia than US

    The Aussie dollar is currently stronger than the USD and heas been for 12 months, why do we have to pay a 25% premium over US customers for an online service that shouldn't be affected by shipping or import taxes?

    I tried to make a reasonable assumption about one of the elements that can explain the price difference. (If the Adobe local offices are separate legal entities)
    Another thing to keep in mind is that they cannot stick to the exact conversion rate: if they are very close to it, they would sell at loss when the rate changes... (I was able to get a MBP for the price of a MacBook when the Sterling Pound made a dive compared to the Euro in 2008.)

    Maybe that if we add all the parts, a chunk of the price difference can be explained. Then, the rest is "explained" by the fact that Adobe is not a non-profit company.
    I sure would want to pay less...
    Peter, we can all make assumptions that can explain part of the price difference, and I'm sure we have read all of these guesses in these forums over the years. I think that if you add them all up, you will never come to the actual surcharges.
    You say Maybe that if we add all the parts, a chunk of the price difference can be explained. Then, the rest is "explained" by the fact that Adobe is not a non-profit company.

The charge what they do because they can an they know they'll get it, as John says.
    Pity that Adobe does not seem to realize how much this policy encourages piracy in countries where the average salaries are way, way below the price of any of their products. In my opinion, sales would probably increase in those contries if they charged reasonable prices. Although it may be too late in places where piracy has become in practice a not-frowned-upon practice.

  • Why does the creative cloud cost 50% more in the UK than the US ?

    Typical American corporate attitude to the rest of the world.
    We give them the internet and Raspberry Pi and all they do is miss the point.
    Is it any wonder people don't like american companies ?
    I would like an explanation.

    Well, to be fair the UK price you're quoting includes taxes (significant VAT) whereas the U.S. price does not... 
    If you compare apples-to-apples then it's closer although still not the same, and (per your request) Adobe has offered an explanation of this in the past.

    Nfunchio13 that is fairly unique error.  Unexpected errors like this are typically the result of the firewall settings or security software interfering with the Adobe Creative applications from being downloaded.

    I installed Photoshop CC (2014) yesterday through the Creative Cloud app. Now, when in Lightroom when I go to "edit in"and select Photoshop CC (2014) and click on "edit copy with Lightroom adjustments",  it opens Photoshop CC (2014) but my photo doesn't show up?  My photo does show up when I click on "edit copy" or "edit original".
    How can I correct that so that I can open up a photo from Lightroom WITH the Lightroom adjustments? Thanks!

    I'm having a similar problem, but only with jpg's. I have PS CS6, CC, and CC 2014. Other image file formats function normally with regard to the "open with" list. PS CC 2014 appears on the list. But with jpg's only PS CC appears on the "open with" list and 2014 can't be added by the browsing for it.
    The curious thing is that if I have any of the three versions of Photoshop open, click on Photoshop CC in the "open with" list, the image opens in whatever version is already open on my computer. This is true of all image formats. No matter which version I pick from the "open with" list it opens in the currently running program. I use only the latest version so keeping it open all the time is an easy work around. I won't uninstall any of the earlier versions lest more file association quirks result. it would be nice to have this matter fixed.
