I need help. I have a new MBP 2018 and recently Core Sync is hogging resources, turning my Mac into a frying pan. Constantly chewing up 100% CPU on Sctivity monitor and firing up the fans.
I have closed all processes, uninstalled CC with the official Uninstaller as per previous answers with this issue. Reinstalled and boom, 100% CPU usage. When I'm not plugged into the main I'm lucky to get 30-45 mins battery time with Core Sync running.
Any help would be appreciated.

Any update on this? Support told me it was my fault that Core Sync was taking up 100% of my CPU and it's because my 64 bit system needs to be upgraded to 64 bit ... not the sharpest tool obviously.
First he said Lightroom was to blame, so I uninstalled it. Not worth the trouble.

I paused the syncing and the CPU went down to normal levels. I am not sure why it uses 100% minimum when it is not paused

Please help! My core sync is also always running at over 100%. My fans are constantly running. And very often my syncing is non-stop. Please help!

Same issue here. Since 2018 I have always had this issue. No exceptions. On Windows, high CPU of CoreSync is paired with high CPU of Explorer.exe. When I turn on my Surface Book or wake it up from sleep mode (not quite a low-end laptop, I would say), I have at least 5 minutes of constant 100% CPU usage dominated by CoreSync and explorer. I did many things. Changing CPU priority, changing upload/download limit for Creative Cloud, reinstalling Adobe CC (from the official website), reinstalling Windows... Nothing works. Leaves me at the only conclusion left: it must by CoreSync in combination with explorer. Please do sort it out.

Seems now that as soon as I force quit my Explorer.exe, the CPU load decreases dramatically (briefly towards ~20% for Core Sync, but soon after closer to 0). I would have to verify this, but I think that explorer.exe does interfere with Core Sync or vice versa. If I quit explorer, Core Sync has time to do its job. If I quit Core Sync, it will reappear, same issue. Anyone following this issue?

You can ignore my latest comment. Quiting explorer.exe has no notable effect. If the sync is still actively hogging up CPU, it continues to do so when explorer.exe is killed.

For anyone on a Windows PC, I learned that CC has trouble with folders that contain many files: once I consolidated these folders into ZIP files, that impacted the performance quite positively. And every time I progressed into reducing the amount of folders with many files, performance improved even more.
Still, for a very brief moment, CoreSync and Explorer together manage to gobble up ~50% of CPU (which causes my CPU to be used 100% for that brief moment), but at least I do not have to wait that long anymore.
Though that this works, it also feels like a workaround to me. I still think that this is a problem.

I still see this issue occasionally on my macbook pro. It usually right after updating some adobe apps. If I open all the apps that were recently updated, then close them, the problem goes away. I just validated this after the latest 2021 update.
