Macbook Pro Retina 2012 Upgraded to OS Catalina - Loud Fan, High Heat, High CPU% Process

I just upgraded to OS Catalina and there is a process named com.apple.RemotePDEService (Safari) that is eating up 90% of my CPU % and cupsd eating 60%, making my computer very loud and hot. I tried restarting and shutting off with no luck. Any ideas what this process is and how I can resolve this issue? It never happened before upgrading to Catalina. Thanks!

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.15

Just wanted to reply to my own thread with the solution in case anyone else has this issue in the future. I reset the NVRAM/PRAM and these processes went away and now my computer is running smooth again.
