DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION caused by Creative Cloud?
I got 3 BSODes this month. All of them were when the PC was idle and I only knew that because I found my PC restarted by itself and then through event viewer and minidump.
I tried to use WinDbg to investigate the minidump, and all of them are related to Creative Cloud. I won't rule out it could be other hardware or driver issue, but it's just strange that all are related to Creative Cloud.
If there's any hint or help that could solve the issue, would appreciate. I already tried most common solutions online and would try to get help from other sources as well.
My 1st and 3rd crashs (there are slight difference in some number and versions, but overall are same)

DPC_WATCHDOG_VIOLATION (133)
The DPC watchdog detected a prolonged run time at an IRQL of DISPATCH_LEVEL
or above.
Arguments:
Arg1: 0000000000000000, A single DPC or ISR exceeded its time allotment. The offending
component can usually be identified with a stack trace.
Arg2: 0000000000000500, The DPC time count (in ticks).
Arg3: 0000000000000500, The DPC time allotment (in ticks).
Arg4: fffff805949c43b0, cast to nt!DPC_WATCHDOG_GLOBAL_TRIAGE_BLOCK, which contains
additional information regarding this single DPC timeout
