My MacBook Pro seems to be dogging a bit and temp creeps up; I noticed a process called "hubd" with a very high (90-100) %CPU. It just keeps spiking/dropping, and I can't find any info about what it is or what it may be tied to. The only thing I found was a previous question in this community about, and the answer was that it might be related to an app called Avid, which I don't have. Any pointers?
Running Ventura 13.5

You can quit the process in Activity Monitor —click it open, run a sample to see if there is a clue
Activity Monitor User Guide for Mac
I am not seeing it...
To trouble shoot further you can:
—A SafeBoot Use safe mode on your Mac - Apple Support will sort many anomalies
Does a quick disk repair before it fully boots up, and certain system caches get cleared and rebuilt, third party system modifications and system accelerations are disabled.
Login and test. Reboot as normal and test. Caches get rebuilt automatically.
This test will tell you if third party interference; most* extensions etc are not loaded in safe boot mode.
—Test issue in another user (or guest user) account Change Users & Groups settings on Mac - Apple Support
This will tell you if it a universal issue or isolated to your user/admin account.
unplug all third party peripherals when testing
Uninstall all third party apps that are Cleaners/Optimizers/VPN/Anti-Virus
all known to cause issues on the macOS

Process hubd? - Apple Community
Thanks - that's the one I found too but I do not have Avid (the software referred to in the other thread) on my machine, so no idea what the hubd process is tied to (thus have no idea how to kill it).
I appreciate the suggestions. I did boot up in Safe Mode and it was still running during safe mode, and back in normal mode after I restarted. The hierarchy of this process looks to be kernal_task --> launchd --> hubd. It is constantly starting then quitting but hammering my CPU. No clue. No peripherals attached. I am running "Clean My Mac" but killed that app and the process is still running. I'll have to do a deeper dive on this...

Look for an official uninstaller to get at all the dregs... You may have to re-install the macOS to right the ship...and restore the macOS to fully operational as intended.
Hubd process and high CPU%?
