Creative Cloud Desktop Using 5-10% CPU Constantly

On a fresh boot my PC is idle, no windows have been opened, and no applications are running.
 
Yet the "Creative Cloud Desktop" process is burning through 5-10% CPU without stopping.
This is 24/7 without any break.
 
It's not open.
It's not been opened.
It's not updating anything.
It isn't using any Disk or Network.
It shouldn't be burning through CPU cycles like this.
 
If my other services (Steam, Backblaze, Nvidia, ShareX, Discord, Spyder Utility etc) were all doing the same, I'd have 30-60% of my CPU unavailable for whatever I'm working on, due to background processes taking up CPU while doing nothing productive. 
 
I've disabled "fonts" as suggested in another post I found, but that didn't help...
 
Any ideas what the heck it's doing 24/7?
I've attached a screenshot here of it doing "nothing" while I had chrome + Discord open...
 
 

Windows 11 (22H2) OS Build 22621.1702 - Not installed the May update yet.

Adobe CCD is Version: 5.10.0.573 (no updates available, and installed it fresh yesterday.

Putting aside your obnoxious snark for a minute, it's hard to understand why you'd expect a programme whose sole job it is to run constantly, to monitor communications/updates/what have you from Adobe, not to be active in the background.

 

Don't like it running? Disable it in Task Manager.
