"CCX Process" and "CCLibrary" causing 100% CPU load and max fan speed in 16" MacBook Pro?

Ever since I upgraded to MacOS Big Sur, I've encountered an issue when starting up my computer that the CPU load is at 100% and the fans are running at maximum speed. The Activity Monitor shows that the culprit are two Adobe CC-related processes, something called CCXProcess and CCLibrary. The only way to stop this is to Force Quit the processes otherwise the CPU load and overheating will continue as long as my laptop is on.

 

Is this a known issue and is there any fix yet?

Hi Leo,

CCXProcess team has released the update with a fix. It should be CCXProcess 4.1.3 - you can check the version in CCD -> Help -> About Creative Cloud.
Please, let us know if you got an update and if the problem is gone!

Thank you!

So I wanted to offer a little update on my situtaion:

I have identified the exact culprit in my specific case. I understand that a lot of the responses to this thread are not describing the exact same situation that I'm in.

 

The problem in my case was caused by AdGuard. AdGuard is an app that blocks ads and trackers and malware across your entire Mac. A couple months ago, I uninstalled it because I was planning on cancelling my subscription to it. It was around this time that I noticed I was no lo

I am having the same problem. Where normally my battery can last for over 12 hours, the CCXProcess has caused it to drain down to 53% in 2 hours. CPU and Energy Impact in the Activity Monitor are both at 100%.  I'm running CCXProcess 4.3.1.12. I need a fix for the immediately; is there something available?

 

Thanks,

Steve

This is definitely a software issue as it appeared with the Big Sur update.

 

I'm on macOS Catalina, (both) process only start on startup (for me), each has 200-300% CPU usage, tempeture gets as high as (ºF) 208, both fans max speed, after a few minutes, the process reaches 0.1-0.3% CPU usage. MacBook Pro 13" 2020.

 

You should try disabling any setting with Creative Cloud that has to do with any CC thing.

I think I solved it. I was going to unistall Creative Cloud Desktop and when I was about to, a pop-up dialogue windowd prompted me to try "repairing" the app before unistalling. I selected "Repair" and it downloaded the newest version and now everything seems to be running Ok. No more fans trying to launch my mac to the moon.

Can't use Lightroom Classic at all now. Immediately after the start, the CPU usage goes to over 500% and the fans spin up.

Sorry, you are facing this - could you please open a separate post for the Lightroom issue? This one would only cover CCLibrary and CCXProcess CPU usage. Thank you!

Good to hear! Please, let us know if you'll see the high CPU usage by CCLibrary and CCXProcess again. (Hopefully not 🙂

Did not change my Late 2013 MBP Big sur Fan problem.

Prior to Big sur, fans were almost always working low, now fans still go crazy just in LIBRARY mode! 

Please advice. I repeate the CCXProcess 4.1.3.1 did not affect my mbp late 2013 fan problems.

Could you please clarify what exact Adobe process is causing it? High CPU usage on your machine. 
Do you see CCXProcess is doing that? Could you please provide a sample of that process then?

Thank you,

Hello and thank you Mariia,

 

Well I don't know what is causing these fans to go crazy since Big sur, I thought that this update would fix my problem, obviously not.

So how can I know what is causing this problem? What sample do you want me to show you? From activity monitor?

 

Thank you

Next time you will be observing fans going crazy, please open Activity Monitor and check what Process/application is causing high CPU usage:
act.png
You'll know what Application is causing that. 
Let us know if that will be CCLibrary or CCXProcess using around 90% CPU.

Thank you!

Ok so it's not CCLibrary or CCXProcess causing my problem, I have Lightroom Classic taking up to 619,7 % of CPU?! How can this be possible and what can I do to fix that? That is with only library scroll!!

Before Big Sur I almost never heard my fans on Lighroom and Photoshop.

 

Thanks

I just wanted to say that I am no longer having this problem. If some of you are still having the problem, try unstalling Adobe CC and reinstalling the updated version. I have not noticed any CPU spikes since I did so.

For me this was a clean installation of Big Sur and then CC on top of it. In other words, I just installed CC and am having this problem.

I had not noticed it in several days so I don't undersatnd how it can be gone then come back. Nothing has chnaged. Today I started up my MBP and saw CCLibrary at 100% CPU load with max fans. 

 

The issue was gone for a few days, now it's back. No idea what is happening but the issue is not fixed

Hi,

It is normal to see CCLibrary high CPU usage when renditions for assets are being generated. Once they are generated, Process should go down. 
If that is not the case for you, next time you are seeing this, please take a sample of the CCLibrary from Activity Monitor and send to me. We will take a look!

Thank you,
Mariia

Continuious high-level CPU usage of about 55-65%. Logged out and back in, with no effect.
