Adobe software lagging Chrome and Firefox

I recently reinstalled Windows 10 and now have a weird issue with any Adobe software (I primarily use Photoshop but it also happens with Premiere).

When I start one up, Chrome/Firefox will then become extremely laggy until I reboot or uninstall Photoshop/Premiere. I have tried both Photoshop CC and even gave old CS2 a try, both give the same issue.

Never had any issues on my old build. I have tried switching off the hardware acceleration in the Adobe software, but that doesn't help.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Have you got the Adobe Application Manager running in the background?

Nope. That was the first thing I killed.

I've also had a look for any other Adobe processed, but it doesn't leave anything running after closing Photoshop/Premiere. Which is weird, it must be hooking into something somewhere which is causing this?

Bump. This is super annoying, I can't have Adobe stuff installed without ruining my Chrome

I have upgraded display drivers twice and tried again, but no luck. It's even happening when I install older CS2! I have also tried turning the GPU acceleration off in Adobe, but no luck. It's weird as I can close e.g. Photoshop and it'll still lag, but when I reboot it'll stop lagging until I then open one of the Adobe applications again. So there's something that runs in the background, but I can't see any executable to kill.
