CCStopper silent mode?

[mdrmdrmdr]

Hi all, just tried CCStopper and I think it's great.

One question: How would I run CCStopper without user interaction? Best, automatically after a definable delay after boot from the autostart menu... Maybe this is a feature request?

Currently, there is no option to run in the background, but this is definitely something I'll be working on now!

You can start the ProcessKill.ps1 on boot by creating a .bat script that launches ProcessKill.ps1 in the plugins folder, then creating a shortcut that you can drop into %appdata%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.

It'll only startup once on boot, but that's the stopgap that I came up with.

Will try the Autostart/ProcessKill.ps1 approach right today :-)

Just ran ProcessKill.ps1 as a test from the command line. Well, it works and kills all Adobe processes, but:

• It also kills manually started foreground processes as Acrobat and Photoshop. Since Adobe programs tend to restart the "evil" background processes again, one might want to run this once in a while. So one has to exactly plan when to run the script (after boot). Don't know yet if this is good for me... Carcheky (from the link in the script) calles it "shotgun" approach.
• The background change to DarkBlue is - for me - anoying

I've been trying to find a solution other than the "shotgun" approach without finding and adding every single adobe process ID and updating it whenever it changes. So far, not much progress :(

The background change to DarkBlue is - for me - anoying

The dark blue background is what powershell does, and I don't think there's a solution I can implement on my side that changes the color to black.

Hopefully this helps!

... and I don't think there's a solution I can implement on my side that changes the color to black ...

If I comment out the line $Host.UI.RawUI.BackgroundColor = "DarkBlue", the color does not change anymore... I did the same for the line clear-host...

Didn't even know that existed tbh... Copy-pasting code + 0 PowerShell knowledge was not a good idea in retrospect

Will fix this in the silent mode update.
