Because Adobe Update serviec, is a service, that allows Adobe to spy. Have an active windows firewall, that only grants access to internet AFTER you respond to on screen promot, until than, it will be denied internet access... Usually 3am/6am i Have adobe try to communicate with servers while PC is closed not being used, around 12,000 attempts a night to make some UNKNOWN connection, for SOME unknown REASON. I manually update, no need to force updates on me.

Thank you for this! Didn't have to even go searching on Reddit. You're the only thing that comes up on google that is useful. RIP google.

Thanks! I additionally also deleted another left-over, a scheduled task "Adobe Acrobat Update Task". This task tries to start AdobeARM.exe at logon of any user and 8:00 each day. Open "Task Scheduler" and you should be able to delete or disable it there.
