aigpusniffer strikes again (Mojave OS)

Hi All,


Does anyone else have the AIGPUsniffer (upon launching Adobe illustrator) on the dock after upgrading to Mojave? i have not encountered this before upgrading and when i was using my older macbook air.

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2016, 2 TBT3), macOS Mojave (10.14)

The aigpusniffer you see is in a recently-open-app section dock. Try to open another 3 apps and the aigpusniffer will be overwritten from the list.


Or you may want to go to system preferences-dock-untick show recent applications in dock at all

I found this answer on an Adobe forum:

It's an auxiliary process probing your GPU capabilities and intercepting misdirected driver calls to prevent GPU-related crashes. At least that is the original intention. Naturally, when it doesn't work that well it becomes a pain in the rear parts. In any case, it's nothing malicious.

In the past 2 weeks, my iMac is no longer able to be woken up like normally, and the only way I can get it back on is to press the power button, which is crashing everything. I think this is why AIGPUsniffer is showing up for me, since nothing is shutting down properly. Until I figure out this wake/sleep issue, I edited my Dock preferences to not show recent apps just so I don't have to look at it.
