Hi there,

 

Sorry about the trouble experienced with Photoshop. What is the file size that you are working on? Do you see that CPU is at 90% when you launch it or just while using path blur?

You can try optimizing the preferences for Photoshop using the steps here: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-photoshop-cc-performance.html

 

If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps mentioned here: https://adobe.ly/2Qzc0K3

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check: https://adobe.ly/2vNz6FG

 

Let us know how it goes!

Regards,
