How to disable auto-start of “Node.js: Server-side JavaScript” when using Adobe Dreamweaver?

Solution: One suggestion in Adobe Forums was to log out of CC. Instead, I disabled all the CC auto-updating services that run when my PC starts up. Here are directions on how to disable startup programs in Windows.

Hypothesis: I couldn’t find any documentation specifically about Adobe CC and node.js, but I believe its being used as part of the their software update process.

Background: My PC at work has been very sluggish and freezing a lot recently, so I checked the Task Manager I saw that there were two node.js processes running. I use node.js as a stand-alone product for web development/programming, but it doesn’t run on startup.

To troubleshoot, I uninstalled node.js, removed all related files on my system, confirmed all references to it in %PATH% environment variables were removed, updated system registry, cleared all caches, and finally rebooted. None of this resolved the issue.

I don’t know why I didn’t do the following to being: I right-clicked on the process in the Task Manager, selected “Open File Location” and found the .exe within Adobe CC folders. Repeating this, I found the same for the second process in the Task Manager. A google search brought me here and to the Adobe Forums.

In retrospect, my company switched to CC in Dec. 2016, and I mainly use it for Photoshop. This is around the time my system began experiencing performance problems, so more than likely that’s when the node.js processes began running on system startup.

Hope that helps.
