Frequent (sometimes several per day) System Lockups Likely Caused by Adobe-Related Processes
As have others, I too have experienced a recurring issue with my system that appears to be related to Adobe processes. My computer frequently experiences lockups, which necessitate a restart. Upon investigating the log entries (using Procmon.exe) leading up to these incidents, I have noticed consistent activity from a component named "CosyLib," particularly involving "VulcanProvider" and "appPing" messages. Here are some log entries from just before the most recent lockup:
2024-12-07T07:00:14.927874Z 23740 [1f47665b] CosyLib INF VulcanProvider.cpp cosylib::VulcanProvider::send #79 : VulcanProvider::send: message of type: ipc, name: sync.in.request.app.ping & requestId: 8ac4f037-f12c-462b-b612-ea8e79af4776

This repetitive pattern suggests that CosyLib's operations, specifically its excessive pings, are related to the system lockups I am experiencing. The relevant files are located in Adobe subdirectories on my computer, specifically under:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\
Since these entries are Adobe-related, it seems reasonable to expect Adobe to identify the causes to resolve this issue - preferably through an update. Or, alternatively, perhaps some brave end-user(s) will set a restore-point and then delete the many Cosy*.* and Vulcan*.* files to see whether that resolves such issues.
