Adobe's Creative Cloud Experience process: in-app content like tutorials and templates.
CCXProcess (Creative Cloud Experience) is an Adobe background process that supports Creative Cloud apps with dynamic content, such as tutorials, Adobe Stock templates and filters. It can start at login even when no Adobe app is open. Users have reported occasional high CPU from it, and Adobe has shipped fixes in updates.
