For the people wanting a walkthrough on how to block the .exe via the Firewall on Windows 10 and 11, Here:
🔒 Block a specific app (Photoshop, or anything else) from the internet
This uses Windows Firewall outbound rules, which is the correct method. It doesn’t break anything, doesn’t require scripts, and doesn’t touch other apps.
Outbound block rule (the important one)
Stops the app from sending anything out — activation checks, telemetry, cloud calls.
Open Windows Defender Firewall with Advanced Security
Click Outbound Rules
Click New Rule…
Select Program
Click Browse… and pick the app’s .exe
Photoshop example: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop\Photoshop.exe
Choose Block the connection
Apply to Domain, Private, and Public
Name it something like: Photoshop Internet Block
That’s it. Photoshop will run normally, but it cannot touch the internet.
🔧 Optional: Block helper processes too
Photoshop sometimes uses extra processes to phone home. If you want a perfect block, you can add rules for:
AGMService.exe
AdobeIPCBroker.exe
CCXProcess.exe
CoreSync.exe
But blocking Photoshop.exe alone already stops most of its internet behaviour.
