    Right after you install and launch Photoshop CC 2018, it will build caches (such as for font previews and font recognition databases). This should normally not take more than 4 - 8 minutes. Subsequent launches should not cause high CPU usage.

    For how long has Photoshop been running, and are you still seeing high CPU usage?

    Both were open for a while.  I was getting hanging while using the spot fix brush and had to force quit.  Since have restarted PS 2018 and LR (I cant use LR Classic as it is extremely laggy on my machine).  Will try and replicate and report back.
