Kill An App Macos
It's the first time the app hanged the whole Mac that heavily, that I was unable to kill it or to open any other application to manage the processes. Is it normal behavior at all, I was counting on it not possible to hang the whole system on a Mac, and one App can't make it totally unresponsive (OS X El Captain, 10.11.4)?

Windows will show you “Not Responding” on the title bar whenever an app is not working. Trying to close or clicking anywhere will show a dialog prompt. Jul 11, 2019 the creative cloud app consumes considerable CPU (around 5-10% constantly), and racks up tens of CPU hours. So I need to get rid of it, but not get rid of photoshop nor lightroom.

Macs have been running 64-bit chips since mid-2011, when it introduced Mac OS X Lion. That’s great, and you’d certainly expect most application developers would have migrated their apps to full 64-bit support, but you’d be wrong. Even Apple hasn’t finished the job – the DVD Player app remains 32-bit, which isn’t a great surprise when no new Macs include an optical drive. So, how can you check which of your Mac applications won’t make the cut when Apple terminates 32-bit support in 2019?
