Question

Dynamiclinkmediaserver at >100%

Using a Mid 2018 MacBook Pro with i9 Processor + 32GB RAM and as soon as I start, and long after I close, Lightroom CC for Mac 2.0 the dynamiclinkmediaserver starts up and uses >100% of CPU resources and the fans start whirring to try and keep things cool!

I assume this does not hog so much resource by design so how do I stop it?

    Hi Peter,

    Sorry to hear that, as dynamic link server is consuming the resources, could you please let us know if you have any other Adobe application installed on the macbook?

    Also, could you please try creating a new user account for testing purpose and let us know if you experience the same issue there?macOS Sierra: Set up users, guests, and groups on your Mac

    Regards,

      If it is working fine on the new user account, it seems that there is an issue with the permissions.

      Could you please try the steps mentioned on this article and let us know if it helps? Solutions to Adobe Lightroom Lightroom user permission issues on launch
