Dreamweaver CS6 - Always 100% CPU

Hi,

I've just installed the trial of Dreamweaver CS6. And I noticed it's always taking 100% of the CPU!!

I disabled RELATED FILES, deleted the cache, but it still takes 100% of the CPU.

The CPU goes down to 0% once I enter any menu in Dreamweaver.

I tried all the solution offered here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/656747 but it still didn't helped.

Any advice?

Thanks!

If you have installed Dreamweaver CCM update (12.1), you should no longer face this issue. If you have 12.1 update installed and are still facing this problem, let us know. For users that are not on the cloud, Adobe is working towards a release that addresses this issue.

I've been testing Dreamweaver CS6 on both Windows and Mac for several months, and have not encountered CPU problems on either system.

Obviously, that's not much help to you, but it sounds as though it's likely to be something specific to your system that's causing the spike. Adobe doesn't offer technical support for trial versions, but if you post more details of your operating system and specifications, it might help others narrow down the cause of the problem.

Hi,

I have DW CS6 with CPU usage 50% on it. It drops down for example when i use File->New or insert->Image. When i am in any kind of menu it drops down to 0.1 or 0.0 %. When i back to my file without even doing nothing it goes up by itself to 50%.

I have installed windows 8.1 x64

This thread is 2 years old and the solution has been given. Have a look at posts 43 and 44.

Good luck!

Post 52 shows that Adobe was able to recreate this problem. Unfortunately there's been no follow-up providing a solution.

And FYI: if Adobe tells us to update to a new version (or a cloud based version) that isn't much of a solution.

My nonprofit organization accepted Adobe's kind offer several years ago to purchase their suite of software at heavily discounted pricing. We've purchased three different suites which has provided us with their powerful software at a very affordable price and has helped us TREMENDOUSLY with our nonprofit mission. Adobe's support of nonprofit groups is commendable.

Unfortunately Dreamweaver has been a bit of a beast and right now I'm heavily reliant on using it.

The new versions are not affordable for us (even with Adobe's discount for nonprofit orgs the requirement to pay a fee in perpetuity just does not make sense for our very very small budget - it would be great if they once again made it available for a one-time purchase price as they used to).

So: upgrading or moving to the subscription service is not an option (at least not for my tiny NGO). What I need is for the product that I've legally purchased to work properly.

Post 52 from Adobe was made back in 2013. An update (with associated solution) would be appreciated.

Ok.

People, the same problem on:

Intel Atom N270 1,6GHz

2GB Ram,

1024x576 resolution

Windows XP

---

50% CPU also.

-----

And second machine:

Core 2 Duo E6400

4GB Ram

1400x900 resolution

Windows 7 x64

---

These 50 percents again.

I am running an officially registered standalone version of Dreamweaver, Version 12.0, Build 5842, and I have encountered a similar problem.

When I start Dreamweaver, it eats up 33% of processor time.

My Adobe products are set to update automatically. If I manually run Adobe Application Manager, it says all my products are up to date.

Hardware:

Dell XPS L502X

Intel Core i7-2720QM @ 2.20 GHz (quad core CPU)

8 GB RAM

Software:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

It's odd that Dreamweaver takes up more processor time than Premiere Pro CS6 does!

Best regards,

Nick

this excessive cpu-usage issue-- and it's strange nuances-- is also being discussed in this thread in which I included a screengrab (post #45) demonstrating the behavior as depicted by my "cpu meter." I'm using Windows 7 x64 on a ThinkPad W520 with an i7 and 8 GB RAM. This does not happen with any other program in the suite as far as I know, so it seems pretty clear based on feedback in both of these threads that this is a serious bug in DW CS6. I think I'll be reverting to 5.5 until it gets sorted.

If you have used the crack of replacing the amtLib.dll file with the commonly downloaded cracked amtLib.dll file, it will cause this problem/behavior. Replace the cracked file with the original .dll and re-open Dreamweaver. You will see your CPU usage go back to normal. For those of you who HAVE NOT installed the cracked .dll, please indicate you are NOT using any pirated version of the software or files. No point in making Adobe try and fix a problem that is not theirs.

I don't think Adobe would acknowledge and investigate this problem if they knew it had to do with their own anti-piracy measures. I have downloaded and installed the full english Design Web Premium CS6 suite (DesignWebPremium_CS6_LS16) last week after receiving my upgrade from the english CS5.5 Web Premium which I purchased earlier this year.

After running Dreamweaver CS6 and activating it using my official serial I have the same 100% CPU usage problem as described by many others. I had to reinstall Dreamweaver CS5.5 since my laptop was running much slower with one core being maxed out all the time. For the record, here's my hardware setup, I hope it helps in quickly tracking down and solving the problem:

Alienware M14X laptop

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bits (Dutch version)

CPU: Intel Core i7-2670QM 2.20Ghz

RAM: 6GB

Display: NVIDIA GeForce 555M (3GB)

Monitor: External via HDMI at 1920x1080

Hello,
I already found out what the problem is the excessive use of processor.
All people who are using pirated version of adobe CS6 have this problem.
Or you install it with your own hand or you deceived by your computer technician.

Please buy the original version (very expensive, but buy).

Hello Guys,

I will tell you exactly what i had found so far about it. I used to work on dreamweaver for a very long time but i noticed one little thing and I am sure that this is one of the problems. I am Egyptian so as you know we talk write and speak Arabic. When i used to install Adobe products that supports the arabic language I noticed this problem. The CPU halts up to 50% only when you start up the app and each file will increase the usage of the memory and the CPU specially for those file like JavaScript and remote files like the one you call from a CDN. So When i used to install the version that does not support arabic and complex writing languages everything was fine even if you have the related files on. I think technically that it is not about related files, caching and the shit that ADOBE says. Its byeond that. So if you wan t to prove it uninstall your current version of Dreamweaver and install the CS5.5 for instance that does not support arabic and complex languages and you will notice that everything will be working fine even if you have related files and caching on. A lot of people will start to make a show with their Specs and I would like to say that maybe I am the ugliest of all of you when it comes to the specs. My Processor is Dual Core and I am running on a 3GB of Ram with Windows 8. So imagine it. I don't really know why the guys at Adobe does not care about thier customers. Why don't they develope a better solution than advicing with some rubish. I hope you got me all of you and sorry if my english is not that good

I got the same problem using CS6 version of Dreamweaver (12.0 build 5808).

Even without opening any document (so simply just by starting DW with its blank page) it constantly uses 50% of one of the CPU's core.

When i click on a menu item (for example, "File" or "Commands"), and the menu is visible & active, the Dreamweaver.exe's CPU usage drops down to 0%. After i close the menu, Dreamweaver.exe CPU usage raises to 50% instantly.

OS: Windows 7 SP1 (Hungarian)

HW: Core 2 Duo, 2x1GB DDR2 memory, Intel integrated VGA (Intel GMA 4500MHD).

I hope Adobe will fix this major problem as soon as possible, i just can't use Dreamweaver with such heavy system usage...

Same here (w7 pro 64bit, 4gb and core2 duo): 100% core occupance, 0% if menu opened.

Intel integrated vga. No nvidia drivers.
