Creative Cloud is using 40% of my CPU

Either Creative cloud (32 Bit) or Adobe Genuine Software Integrity Service is using my CPU all the time and I don't know why.

This is my situation for about a year now.

It is not 100% of cpu. But my hardware fans are making noise.

I created a .bat to kill all Creative Cloud processes, and when killing all, the fans instantly stop spinning.

But sooner or later Creative Cloud restarts itself.

Anyone else is having this problem? Is this a normal behaviour?

Since I paid for Photoshop my computer slowed to a crawl. I uninstalled all Adobe stuff, and Presto, it is a speed demon again.

This is so amateur. I can't believe this is an issue in 2023.

I have no idea what you are talking about. What is that? How do you do it?

Same problems still. Adobe can't fix it?

I must replace the Adobe software ASAP. Time to abandon the bloatware

It's now March 2022... and this appears to STILL be a problem! Is this for real?

I have Adobe photoshop and Adobe Lightroom installed, for just occasional use. But my PC is sluggish for big periods of time when these applications are not running. "Creative Cloud Desktop" is currently consuming between 30 and 35% of my CPU.

This is incredibly annoying, what does it think it's doing?! There is no disk activity, and no network activity for this aplication in task manager.

Adobe, you really need to sort this out.

Same issue here, even in August 2022. Creative Cloud works fine on some computers. On others, Creative Cloud Helper and Adober Desktop Service generate permanent very high CPU load that makes a computer almost unusable, even when neither Creative Cloud nor one of the applications is running.

Reinstalling etc. does not help. I have still to find a solution. Adobe, please fix this asap.

these are user-to-user forums and everyone posting in 2022 is adding to a thread over 5 years old that's going to get negligible attention. ie, start your own thread.
