CCStopper Versions Save

[Archived] Stops Adobe's pesky background apps and more 😉

v1.3

3 months ago

Welp, it's been a fun ride! CCStopper wouldn't have been possible without the help of the community, so thank you!

I won't be creating a CCStopper for Mac as zii seems to be dead, and the current method is just downloading a pre-patched version of the app.

Finally, I'd like to apologize to everyone with an unresolved issue. I'll try my best to help before archiving the repo, but in most cases I'll recommend the aforementioned alternatives.

⚠️ CCStopper is no longer maintained. I have switched to Mac. Please read the README for information about uninstallation/alternatives.

No further updates/support will be provided starting Jan. 14, 2024, and the repo will be archived on Mar. 31, 2024.

The final version of CCStopper is v1.3. It only stops Adobe processes, and will not do anything else. Previous releases are still available to download. The previous version's code is still available in the full branch.

👋Hey! With the release of one-line commands, future updates here will be automated. It also lets me push out more frequent updates (but no promises!).

  • re-written hosts block module
    • it will now update hosts file if entries already exists (fixed #80)
    • new comments surrounding entries in hosts file
    • it should migrate old entries, but it hasn't been extensively tested

v1.2.3-pre.1

11 months ago

This is a Pre-Release!

Everything should work, but there'll be bugs. It has gone through limited testing, so please report any and all problems you find. As always, use at your own risk.

Edit 7/5/2023: Changed version from 1.3.0-pre.1 to v1.2.3-pre.1 because I don't think the amount of new features are large enough to warrant the version bump. Won't be updating the zip file attached below cuz I'm lazy lol, i'm fine with issues mentioning either version.


  • Combined everything into one file
  • One-line install/run
    • thanks MAS for the idea
    • see below for commands
  • The hosts file module write/remove addresses in a different way
    • it should migrate old entries, but it hasn't been extensively tested
  • New module for patching the creative cloud app
    • credit to AbsentForeskin on the genP discord
    • requires restart after patching
  • Created logo for shortcut icons (its very original trust)

⚠️ By using the commands below, you're running remote code that can be compromised/broken anytime. Everything is open-source, but it's still more risky than a manual installation. Proceed with caution. ⚠️

Run in Powershell, not CMD.

Powershell Command Description Run as admin?
irm https://ccstopper.netlify.app/run | iex Runs CCStopper once. No
irm https://ccstopper.netlify.app/shortcut | iex Creates desktop shortcut that runs the command above. Yes
irm https://ccstopper.netlify.app/install | iex Installs CCStopper and creates a desktop shortcut. Works offline, however it won't automatically update. To uninstall/reinstall, run this command again. Yes
