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.

Yes I have the same problem. The latest Adobe apps on windows are dog slow as well.

I have "solved" (for me) the biggest problems of background processes slowing everything down - by disabling everything i can re the creative cloud. I don't use the creative cloud and adobe give the options to turn off this functionality ..... For now at least, that appears to shut off the constant draining of the CPU.

The way that this functionality has been engineered seems very poor. I have Dropbox installed for example, and that does similar stuff without crazy CPU load the whole time.

I have also doubled my PCs memory from 4gb to 8gb - as it seemed to me that 4gb was not enough for running even a single adobe application. That seems to have helped a bit the terrible sluggishness when using the adobe products.
