Adobe GC Client Application CONSTANT CPU Usage

Question

I have a great system. 8th gen intel 32GB or RAM liquid cooled blah blah blah. I use Photoshop which I pay for now monthly through Adobe CC. No problem with photoshop the application but I have ADOBE GC CLIENT APPLICATION constantly using at least 12% of my CPU resources. It'd be different if it was trying to complete some sort of process then CPU usage decreased but NO. It constantly runs for no particular reason I can determine.

I'd love some detail on how to resolve this issue or if it's possible to resolve. I use my system for work as many here probably do so the idea that my CPU is being used CONSTANTLY for some seemingly useless unending process is slightly irritating.

It doesn't appear to load upon reboot. Actually it only seemed to load after I open then close photoshop. It didn't seem to load when I opened photoshop but right as it was closing the GC client did load.

I'm having this problem and it's at least two years later. It seems to occur whenever I open Acrobat DC.  DOES ADOBE NOT CARE THAT THEY ARE CRAPPING UP THEIR USERS' SYSTEMS?  (sorry to shout, but I have spent countless time trying to solve this, and it's all related to adobe's crappy genuine software program. Come on Adobe, get with it!)
