Sharingd is consuming almost 140-200% of my MacBook air's CPU and is heating it up. It starts automatically even after force quitting it. All of the sharing options are disabled in system preferences and even the bluetooth is off.
I'm running on macOS Catalina version: 10.15.4
please help me to stop sharing and possibly I don't want to use Safe Mode.
Thanking you in anticipation.

yesterday I noticed something unusual. When I was running Da Vinci Resolve, sharingd automatically started and when I forced quit it, Resolve showed me error. I tried this 4 times and I received 4 errors. So is it possible that Da Vinci resolve is responsible for it? If yes then I wan't it not to start automatically.
Thanking you for your previous support. :-)

I have no idea what resolve is, much less how it interacts with the OS. This is the description of sharingd, so I have no idea why Resolve would have any affect on it:
sharingd is used by the Finder to enable AirDrop file sharing, Handoff between iCloud devices, Instant Hotspot discovery, connecting to shared computers, and accessing Remote Discs from other computers.
You'll need to search the internet for how to disable a system launchDaemon using launchctl. I don't know what is required to defeat the OS security model to allow disabling of system daemons.
launchctl is the program that loads and unloads Launch Agents and Daemons.
The only thing I see in there is an orphaned Zoom launch daemon. If it is still trying to load without the necessary executable installed, it could be affecting sharingd.
Here is the report. Also forgot to mention that the parent process of sharingd was launchd(1).
I don't know what's causing sharingd to use so much of your CPU or how to disable it. However, on the iMac I'm on currently it's only taking 0.0-0.1% of the CPU and I have File Sharing on.
You have something else wrong that is causing this behavior.
Please run Etrecheck and use the Share Report button to copy the report and paste it into the Additional text area, here (document icon).
but I have zoom app installed and I frequently use it
I removed the daemon lets see what happens.
Maybe try uninstalling it and reinstalling it. Check with the developer for instructions on how to uninstall.
