Hi. Since upgrading to Catalina this morning there has been a process in Activity Monitor called AMPLibraryAgent running which is taking up 100% of CPU. Does anyone know what this is? I tried killing the process but it just started straight back up again. Mac is sluggish after upgrading and I'm sure this is not helping!
iMac Line (2012 and Later)
try turning off Media Sharing in the Sharing system preference pane and restarting.
when I did this I restarted TV.app and it had the same problem for a few minutes. Once it rebuilt whatever was slowing it down I re-enabled Media sharing and so far no more issue.
sorry this isn't a very technical answer, maybe someone else can figure out exactly what is going on behind the scenes.
hope this helps others, the heat and fan noise was super annoying!
what is a clean install?
Update didn't do anything to stop this. Is anyone from Apple support going to respond?
Apple isn't here. This is a user forum.

Have a nice day.
i have exactly same issue after installing Catalina (since yesterday). CPU running at 160% for any kind of app, like onedrive, calendaragent, finder, photoanalysisd etc. My fan is working all the time. Very annoying!!
Update…..The AMPLibraryAgent is drawing over 2GB, and every website I visit pulls another 650-750MB. I stared and quit Facebook website because it drew another 2.2GB.
After upgrading, process AMPLibraryAgent is taking up 100% of CPU
