So the backstory is this pop-up:
I uninstalled Adobe Reader after trying the repair. I then ran sfc/chkdsk- found & fixed— then ran DISM to doublecheck. I ran repair on every C++ entry in programs & features. I stopped startup up of ANY Adobe (task manager, too).
How do I stop this BuLSH&T?
Thank you for your time.
I've done the control panel "repair" of all of the c++ entries, too.
Everything else points to doing reg fixes which are so fraut will peril, I don't want to bother. They need a new install, but may be moving states + retiring and no longer need the previous.
I honestly despise searching for an issue & finding it from 4 decades ago, never fixed. Yet M$ makes a big deal out of coloured folders?
Fresh install with deep formatting
Did you disable the ccxprocess.exe?
Might be a case of installing the Adobe Creative Cloud App and turning off the startup at login then uninstall it, but there are a few methods mentioned below

Yes, uninstalled everything Adobe + ran through services, task manager, and scheduled tasks. This isn't my PC, it's someone I know. There's also other oddities in it (like duplicate docs/music/pictures folders in both profiles).
I might try a system restore point & then the Adobe cleaner.
Thanks all!
You ever have Acrobat?
Back to post the fix for me.
Downloaded the Adobe fixit. Made a "create a backup" via system restore. Fixed the issue.
I hope this post helps others.

EDIT - seems like I was too quick on this, guessing your message in title on what you've done is likely in reference to the above.
