Node.js JavaScript Runtime uses 100% of a core all the time

On Windows 10, using the latest version of Adobe CC, the process “Node.js Javascript Runtime” uses 100% of a core, all the time. This is a relatively new problem. My computer’s fans are running non-stop as a result.

The Node.js thing is located in: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience\libs

I’ve deleted node.exe from C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Creative Cloud Experience\libs and for now, this appears to have solved the problem. My computer runs normally and quietly again. See my other reply below for other things I tried.

I’ve tried repairing the Adobe Creative Cloud installation in Windows’s Apps and Features, it didn’t work. I’ve also tried installing Node.js separately as a piece of software from nodejs.org, it didn’t work. Node.js JavaScript Runtime still runs and takes a full core. I’ve disabled all auto-updates and synching in the Creative Cloud preferences; no avail. When I terminate the Node.js process, it reappears.
