On Windows 10 with only Photoshop installed I see: Adobe Update Service, Adobe Notification Client, Adobe IPC Broker, Adobe Installer, Adobe Genuine Software Service, Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service, Adobe CEF Helper, Adobe CEF Helper, Adobe CEF Helper.

That is 9 background processes for an app I haven't used in a week.

This past week mine has started doing something even more fun on Windows 10: creating "WpSystem" folders on the root of all of my secondary hard drives and putting AppData>Local>Packages>Adobe.CC folders inside of them with a bunch of Internet Explorer and other dump files in it.
