I get an error message for both commands: "/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AdobeCreativeCloud.plist: Could not find specified service"
While the files actually exist in those folders.

I’m getting the same errors, and files do exist. macOS 10.13.3, Adobe Creative Cloud 2018.

what about /Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.GC.Invoker-1.0.plist ?

After being run once you will always get the message: Could not find specified service.
That only proves that it worked :)

No such this as launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/com.adobe.AAM.Updater-1.0.plist with CC 2019. The files that exist are:

com.adobe.AdobeCreativeCloud.plist  com.adobe.GC.Invoker-1.0.plist      
com.adobe.GC.AGM.plist              com.microsoft.update.agent.plist

FWIW I combined some of the answers from the Stack Overflow answers into a gist here: https://gist.github.com/mhucka/59e785a315d813d14cd0258b89a2fcac

This was not done to try to compete with anyone; I wanted a one-shot sledgehammer solution that covered all the possibilities, wrote a quick script, and thought it might be appropriate to mention here.
