this problem led to my laptop's shutdown for four times, and at that time no Adobe Softwares were running, no matter on foreground or in background opened by users.

Report · Jan 25, 2021

At least in MacOS version, Adobe CEF helper has a memory leak in it. It seems to never release the memory it takes. If you don't ever boot your machine, it will take all the memory your machine has and will eventually crash the whole system. Certain usage will probably make it happen earlier.

Disclaimer: I'm no way related to Adobe, and I know nothing about their software practices. I'm just a software developer who got annoyed when Adobe CEF helper hogged too much memory, while it did nothing, and then I did some debugging. I know there are good programmers in Adobe, but these kind of problems is no ones responsibility it's never fixed. This particular memory leak problem can be traced to at least 2012, so I wouldn't recommend to hold ones breath while waiting a fix.

P.S. I just killed the Adobe CEF process from my Mac, because it took 4 Gigabytes of memory.
