Comment on Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found
MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 2 days agoI had this exact experience with creative cloud about 10 years ago. Adobe is actual malware and I will not allow it on my computers any longer.
I refused to log in…because I didn’t actually have one, I was just wanting to try it or something. Ended up having to go mess with the registry and use a tool from git to remove all traces of it.
Side-note: I used to use CCleaner too and I believe there was something that happened a while back (I don’t remember what, but it was related to security) and you shouldn’t use it any longer. I haven’t kept up with it, so maybe that’s not true any longer.

I believe they were packaging shitware with their binaries. It also isn’t generally healthy to do a lot of the things they do to the operating system. For a free, quick emergency on install, imo they are fine, I removed it after it got the job done.
I don’t know what the current free uninstaller is, my first thought was Revo, but it looks like somebody threw up monetization all over their shit.
I could probably have used Gandalf or something, but I haven’t updated it in a while and I just wanted CC gone.
Thanks for the tip though.
