Dreamweaver (CC) running HOT - Can't Use on El Capitan

Just bought a MacBook Pro 15" Retina with i7 and 16G RAM last week, every time I run Dreamweaver (CC) my laptop starts to run the fan pretty heavy and it heats up quickly about 3 minutes after starting the program. I don't even have files open. When I run Photoshop (CC) everything is fine. I've been watching the Activity Monitor and Dreamweaver is using a lot of energy. Any suggestions? At this point I can't even use Dreamweaver it overheats my computer so fast after loading. Using Brackets in the meantime. FYI, I am new to the Mac family and on my windows laptop I didn't have any problems.

MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Mid 2015), OS X 10.11.13

Install a temperature/fan speed monitoring application.

Set Activity Monitor to ALL PROCESSES and set CPU to display values from high to low.

Open Dreamweaver and when the MBP gets 'hot', post images of both for review.

Ciao.

Ok, here's what I got (oh, and it starts heating up within a minute, not three)

While Dreamweaver is on but with no files open and when fan starts to get loud (machine is also getting hot at this point):

After opening a simple HTML file:

After closing Dreamweaver and fan stops:

Looks like the GPU is taking the hit?

I figured it out!! I found out it's this exact issue found on the Adobe forums:

Have you checked you moved the correct files out and the directory structure is as below? (Mine is and works fine - fans off and Libraries working as intended).

1. Move the old Design Library extension to somewhere else (move to your Desktop for example):

Photoshop: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2015/Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.app/Contents/Required/CEP/extensions/com.adobe.DesignLibraryPanel.html/

Illustrator: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2015/CEP/extensions/com.adobe.DesignLibraries.angular/

InDesign: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC 2015/Resources/CEP/extensions/com.adobe.DesignLibraries.angular/

2. Download DL.zip from Shared Files - Acrobat.com, then extract it to

Photoshop: /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CC 2015/Adobe Photoshop CC 2015.app/Contents/Required/CEP/extensions/

Illustrator: /Applications/Adobe Illustrator CC 2015/CEP/extensions/

InDesign: /Applications/Adobe InDesign CC 2015/Resources/CEP/extensions/

I followed these exact instructions and went into my Dreamweaver CEP extensions folder here: /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2015/configuration/CEP/extensions/
