"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?

    I have informed adguard developer team about this issue. They are trying to fix this issue.

    Using latest version of CC app on late 2017 MBP running mac OS Big Sur 11.1 (see screenshot)

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

      I uninstalled Creative Cloud and reinstalled with the latest version of CCXProcess (4.2) and the issue is still present. 100% CPU usage from CCXProcess and fully-revving fans.

       

      This issue has not been fixed, despite the claims above.

      Tony, sorry you still see excessive use of the resources of the computer. For your next steps, please download and run the CC Log Collector Tool from http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-log-collector.html.  Once the logs are uploaded, then begin a chat session at https://helpx.adobe.com/contact.html so that your specific circumstances can be evaluated and corrected.

      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.

        Well, I spoke to soon because as of today, the issue is back.

         

        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.

        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,
        Mariia

          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

            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.

                Thank you for replying to this thread. This is definitely a software issue as it appeared with the Big Sur update.

                 

                My only option is to force quit CCXProcess every time I start up my laptop.

                 

                I have not been given a solution 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!

                    Good to know I'm not the only one.

                    I sent off some diagnostic information to Adobe. Hope I will get an answer or a fix. 

                    I tried uninstalling and re-installing Creative Cloud but the problem repeated itself. No fix yet.

                      Hi,

                      We don't really face this on our side, neither our users reported the same. Could we please ask you to get details for us? Sending you a DM.

                      Thank you,

                        Hi Maria,
                        I'm experiencing the same.
                        Is there any solution for this? This program after Big Sur is drying my battery out in more than 50% than it used to take until it's empty.

                          Could you please gather Logs using Log Collector and post Logs ID here? That would be helpful to investigate and fix the problem.
