For anyone who might read this in the future, I've found the best solution to this problem. For some reason I didn't need to go through all these steps on my surface pro adobe programs, but my desktop gave me issues. So if you're still having issues after doing the following, read on.

If you just end the process in Task Manager, the pop-up comes back up eventually.

If you just delete the files in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeGCClient" or the folder itself, they may just recreate themselves every day or two.

If you delete/disable the Adobe services or schedules in Task Scheduler, those may just come back too.

To solve these issues, I decided to make a .bat file that deletes every file in that AdobeGCClient folder (exact location may depend on your Adobe install folder) and schedule it to do this every time I log on/turn on my pc. So far that has worked for the past few days.
