    I dis a google search on CEPHTML and found this perhap you will see someting usefull in that thread

    What is the "Adobe CEP HTML Engine"? It`s using too much from my processor.


    Thanks for your effort

    I'm happy to tell you that the problem finally solved

    The problem from my graphic card ... uninstalled it and reinstalled its driver again solved the problem

    Thank you so much

    If you have reset all tools and your Photoshop preferences at home Try uninstalling CC 2018 indcluding Preferences and then try installing CC 2018.

    I uninstalled cc 2018 3 times and reinstalling it again

    I guess that the problem because of a process called cephtml engine.exe but i tried to stop it fron task manager but i failed

    do you know a way to stop this process ?

    With the Lasso tool, the minute you release the mouse button, the selection area will connect back to the starting point. You need to keep the mouse button held down until you get back to the starting point. The Lasso tool isn't the best tool to use for selecting objects especially as they get more complex. I'd give the Quick Selection tool a try. It's a bit easier and more forgiving to use.

    And you can always add or subtract from/to the selected area using the lasso tool with the modifier keys Shift add and Alt subtract.
