Have you used the Adobe removal tools? Have you removed all Adobe directories? Go into Regedit and remove the Adobe registry items. iObit uninstaller?
Just some ideas. My personal Adobe product that I'd like to KILL is PDF Architect which I have no use for (that I know) and I keep getting update reminders. I just have other things I'd rather be doing on a day off, like weeding the garden, splitting wood, editing photos and wasting time on MSG. ;) While I'm boiling eggs and making candles.

Well, you know how much time I have to devote to this stuff :) . I found a microsoft tool called MS autoruns that first lets me disable everything or anything that runs at startup, plus it gives me the file paths to those directories so that I can remove them or disable them.
Using Win10 on a win7 latop nowadays. Closed out my adobe accounts except for my contributor thingy, and I use a vpn to access that and a separate browser. Bought an Affinity license (one-time deal) and slowly learning that over from Photoshop. Not to say I don't like the actual Adobe products, its just all the baggage that comes with makes me not want to go through all the hassle.

I still use Elements, just bought 2020 with Premier (WIN10) and I still have good old Illustrator CS3 which was never CC. Lightroom looks really nice for what I do, just never got past version2. Some old software like Autopano Pro won't run on newer systems, I still have an XP laptop and desktop, mostly just for that.
But back to Elements, each version is good on two computers. Older XP systems have E7 running. Newer computers have V10 and the Windows 10 best desktop and newest laptop have Elements 2020.
One of these days I need to figure out if I want PDF creator, and why, if it actually works? And why my computer has PDF Architect on it, if it actually functions? I just get distracted and have other tings to do. Maybe in December. ;)

the most important topic for stock photographers in last few years went offtopic.
;D

For 10 to 30 some odd cents an image, I am not too fussed if Adobe finds a way to go after cheats. We don't see any of that gain anyway from most agencies, remember Getty going after every abuse? We don't see a penny from that.
Its interesting, to be sure and good for them. They are protecting their market share and giving another reason out of many for people to send content to them. But unless its exclusive content, it doesn't make a huge difference does it?
Respectfully, I would disagree its the most important topic for stock producers though.
