Creative Cloud Core Service high CPU usage

after updating to the new MacOS I received a notification, that there is a new version of creative cloud. So I updated it too and now the problem is solved 

I also had the same issue, which no longer occurs after updating to macOS 14.2 Beta 4.

I have been having the same issue for weeks now! It's incredibly annoying to see one full CPU core of my M1 Max MacBook Pro go to this annoying process which makes no sense.

I have also tried all kinds of uninstalls, cleans, restarts, and start/stop of sync etc.

Nothing has helped yet. This is a serious issue that is taking away compute power that could go toward render/etc.

And that with a background process that's constantly active?! Even worse.

I really hope someone can figure this out and fix this.

that's your license check and updates check.

reset the cc desktop app by making sure it's in the foreground, then press:

Win: Ctrl + Alt + R
Mac: Cmd + Opt + R


if that fails, repair per https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-install-stuck.html


if that fails and you have windows, open your control panel > add/remove programs > cc desktop app > repair

if that fails, uninstall using the correct uninstaller from https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-creative-cloud-desktop-app.html#sa_src=web-messaging and then reinstall using*


if that fails, do a clean cc install carefully following each applicable step:

uninstall every cc app including preferences per https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/uninstall-remove-app.html

clean your computer of cc files per http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html

check for, and if available, update your os

if windows is your os, repair all ms visual c++ versions that can be repaired (use google if you don't know how to do this)

if windows is your os update your ms visual c++, if it can be updated (use google if you don't know how to do this)

restart your computer (don't skip this)

reinstall the cc desktop app using the "alternative download links" at the bottom of the page at https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/kb/creative-cloud-desktop-app-download.html

use the desktop app to install your cc programs/trials

NOTE: win 11 users that have trouble with the latest win 10 installer often have success with the older win 10 installer.
