Hi everyone, I've been experiencing this problem with Creative Cloud Content Manager for a few days now. I've noticed that the process in Activity Monitor spikes to 100% and stays constant, sometimes even reaching 180-190% CPU usage, without me doing anything. It happens immediately after startup and stays that way for several minutes.

My configuration is:
iMac 2020, OS: 14.8.3 (23J220), 3.8 GHz Intel Core i7 8-core, 32GB RAM.

Adobe Creative Cloud version 6.8.1.865.

Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks in advance!

I am experiencing the exact same issue. Adobe Creative Cloud keeps consuming 190%+ CPU usage even when none of the Adobe applications are running.

I completely uninstalled and reinstalled Creative Cloud, which seemed to fix the problem for about two weeks, but the issue has now returned. The high CPU usage starts again despite not actively using any Adobe software.

This behavior is becoming very frustrating, as it significantly impacts system performance and battery life. Has anyone found a permanent solution or identified the root cause?

I’m having this exact same issue, from what I can see it only does it after I restart and whenever I install a new font with adobe fonts
