Creative Cloud is charging the CPU at 99% since yesterday's update

The two processes that are making the processor run at max are CCLibrary and CCXProcess. Any idea?

    This issue should be addressed by an update to the Creative Cloud app that was released yesterday.

    You'll want to uninstall and reinstall the Creative Cloud app to get the 3.4.2.187 version. It won't appear as an update within the app. These would be the steps I'd recommend

    1) Close all open Adobe products

    2) Quit the Creative Cloud desktop app

    3) Close all Adobe related processes using Activity Monitor or Task Manager, list of processes below:

    • Creative Cloud
    • Adobe CEF Helper
    • Adobe Desktop Service
    • AdobeIPCBroker
    • Adobe Installer
    • AdobeUpdateService
    • AdobeServiceInstaller
    • CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
    • AAM Updates Notifier
    • CCLibrary
    • node
    • CoreSync

    4) Remove the Creative Cloud app using the app uninstaller from here:


    Uninstall the Creative Cloud desktop app

    5) Reboot the computer

    6) Download and reinstall the Creative Cloud app from here: https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/creative-cloud

    7) Launch and confirm the latest version is installed by checking the app preferences display version 3.4.2.187


    Hope that helps,

    - Dave

    Same Problem here too. 100% CPU on "CCXProcess" and "CCLibrary" since update to 3.4.0.180 yesterday morning.

    I can kill the Processes, but they reappear after reboot (without starting Creative Cloud or any other CC Application).

    Quick fix would be appreciated

      Me too, my fans in my MacBook Air and MacBook Pro were really noisy and not stopping for a minute after shut down. When I killed CCXProcess and CCLibrary the fan noise stopped. I hope the most recent update a few minutes ago will fix this.

        Same problems and task manager processes here....tying up the memory, causing a screen refresh on the desktop every few seconds....and that is when I am NOT using any of the apps. Happening since the update to 3.4.0.180 yesterday. Hoping a solution comes quick, I earn my living with sales, and the problems editing product photos during the Christmas sale season is going to take a huge chunk out of my annual income.

        Thanks

        I've created a dummy user on my MacBook, started session on it and logged with my CC credentials and everything is normal, so there is something on my user preferences that is creating the problem. Maybe the better choice will be an OS X clean installation...

        Kindly share the version of Creative Cloud that is installed on your machine, so that we can try to assist you appropriately. We would also like to know since when you are observing this behavior.

        Thanks for your investigation. I have also Creative Cloud 3.4.0.180. The behavior started also yesterday.

        I have the same problem since two days. Today I have uninstalled all Adobe Products. Deleted everything related to Adobe and made a clean install of the Creative Cloud. After this I have the same issue as before. Please help!

        Nothing changed to me too. As I said in my comment, I've made a clean install too this morning to try to solve the issue.
