Fusion
Teacher laptop was doggy and I looked at task manager - I see these Streamer.exe files running and eating CPU. every time I load Fusion and then bailout it runs that streamer. I just did it a 3rd time and now its at 46% CPU after i clipped this. Whazzup with that? 
Streamer.exe is the process that updates Fusion. I noticed it ran for quite a long time after the last update, think sometimes this is why an update can go wrong. When I see the message saying a new version has landed and an option to restart, I never let Fusion do the shutdown and restart because I've had it corrupt fusion too many times. I always close Fusion, open task manager and wait until Stream.exe closes then restart Fusion myself and it's never gone wrong!
Don't know if you have a problem but it might be worth just closing Fusion and wait 10-20 minutes to see if streamer does actually complete the install.

Edit, just noticed you have 2 stearmer.exe running! Never seen that before. What happens if you restart your computer, then start Fusion?

up????
I'd guess every time you've started and closed Fusion a new streamer.exe has started. Try a reboot of the laptop, start Fusion once, then close and open task manager and wait for streamer.exe to do it's stuff.

@jeff_strater Who would be best to tag in on this? Should streamer.exe even run with a lab install?
Thanks Mark

I now have 3 streamers even I did reinstall new lab software - If I go into Fusion each time I X out it starts a new streamer
Thanks, @HughesTooling - this is out of my league... I've sent a request for someone more knowledgeable than me to comment on it. Yes, I would expect a streamer.exe to run for a lab install (it's the only way that Fusion gets installed, I think). But, there should never be more than one. Also, you should, as @HughesTooling said in an earlier response, not shut down Fusion while the streamer is running. It should be OK to do that, we should clean up that process, but I would never try this. You should kill those streamer processes, or better, just reboot the computer - I would hope those do not come back, then try uninstalling and re-installing. But, again, hopefully someone more knowledgeable will come along to help.

Same issue here: Autodesk “streamer.exe” launches and runs indefinitely with high CPU usage after closing Fusion 360 Lab version (global, all users). Each time Fusion 360 closes, a new instance of “streamer.exe” launches as shown in this screenshot of Task Manager.
This lab version of Fusion 360 was installed for all users by running “Fusion 360 Admin Install.exe” downloaded from
https://dl.appstreaming.autodesk.com/production/installers/Fusion%20360%20Admin%20Install.exe
Workaround: Set a compatibility flag on “streamer.exe” for all users to run as an administrator, as shown in the screenshot below. Sometimes after Fusion 360 is updated, this compatibility flag has to be set again.
Hopefully this issue gets fixed in the next update of Fusion 360 Lab version.
