Video Tutorial: Updated Guide #2 - CC+GenP - NEW
DOWNLOADS NEEDED

Exit and Quit Creative Cloud services
CTRL+SHIFT+ESC or CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open Task Manager,
Terminate any "Creative Cloud", "CC..." and "Adobe" Processes running
Stop & disable Adobe Genuine services (IMPORTANT)
Click on Windows button, type "Services.msc" - Open Services
Find "Adobe Genuine Monitor Service" and "Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service"
If for some reason you don't find both, do it for the one that you can find
Right Click on each one > Properties
Change the following to
Startup type: DISABLED
Service Status: STOPPED
Hit Apply, OK, and close it.
You must do it for BOTH services
// If you dont find one, or both services then skip this step.
Delete this folder "AdobeGCClient"
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\AdobeGCClient
// If you dont have the folder then skip this step.
Run GenP on installed apps of Step #5
Check CC2022 box for automatic detection and click the Pill Picture (easiest)
The app will find all the paths by itself :)
If you choose manual detection (checking each box individually), it will open another window asking to select the ".exe or .dll" of the apps you chose.
Example for photoshop.exe or .dll
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop 2022 - And select the Photoshop.exe or .dll
The "Restart your ACC app manually" pop-up is NOT AN ERROR, it's normal, no need to restart. Just click OK and close GenP.
If you run it twice on the same app and GenP says "file is not vanilla" means the app is already patched, so it skips that one. Do not worry!)
You will always download wtv most recent app is available from CC.
Disable any Adobe programs from startup (IMPORTANT)
CTRL+SHIFT+ESC or CTRL+ALT+DELETE to open Task Manager,
Click Startup button
Disable Adobe Programs
Example: Creative Cloud Desktop, AGCInvokerUtility, CCXProcess, Adobe Updater Startup Utility and any other Adobe process. If you dont find all of these do not worry, just try to find most of those and continue.
Registry Editor (optional, but recommended)
Click on windows button, type "Regedit.msc" - Open the Registry Editor
Navigate to Computer\HKEYCURRENTUSER\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\
Look for the {0E270DAA-1BE6-48F2-AC49-.........}
Click on it (will show new things to the right side)
Double click or right click > Modify on "System.IsPinnedToNameSpaceTree"
Change key value to "0"
Click OK and close it.
ATTENTION PLEASE
If you get the Unlicensed pop-up, try this fix.
Automated Script by DevNull <3
Manual Fix - Reddit post
USE / OPEN APPS THROUGH WINDOWS MENU - NOT THROUGH CREATIVE CLOUD
ATTENTION
Always check first the monthly Compatibility List before updating any apps, otherwise don't update.
If you want to install more apps, hit "Start Trial / Try" on New app, let it download, and run GenP on them.
Check CC2022 Box for automatic detection, and click the Pill Picture
If you run it twice on the same app and GenP says "file is not vanilla" means the app is already patched, so it skips that one. Do not worry!)

Method To Avoid Credit Card Requirement via Firewall Method (Windows 10/11)
Possible Solutions
If your ACC still prompts the credit card requirement. There's a quick bypass without any extra programs to download. I am using Windows 11, but I assume this is the same as 10 and probably 7.
Locate this folder: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Desktop Common\ADS Make sure Adobe Desktop Service.exe is in it.
And just use Windows Defender to block it from using the internet. If you don't know how, here's a very simple guide: CLICK HERE
You can still run ACC when this is disabled from using the internet. Hitting TRY will just automatically download rather than asking for a credit card. I just tested this by downloading the latest Premiere Pro and patching it with Gen-P.
Hope this helps everyone else!
